About OVF Tool Probe Mode
Probe mode reveals information about the content of a source. You can probe OVA and OVF packages, VMX, and vSphere source types. You can use the information gathered to find out how it can be configured when you deploy it.
To use the probe feature, omit the target locator when invoking OVF Tool. For example, at the command line, type:
ovftool LAMP.ovf
. The tool displays all available information about the LAMP.ovf
.When probe mode is used on an OVF or OVA package, OVF Tool also validates the certificate file, if present.
As part of the information displayed in probe mode, the EULA is displayed by default. To prevent the EULA from displaying, use the
--hideEula
option.> ovftool --hideEula LAMP.ovf
