Create an OVF Template in a Content Library from a Virtual Machine or vApp

You can create library items from existing virtual machines or vApp. Use those library items later to deploy virtual machines and vApps on hosts and clusters in your
vCenter Server
environment.
  1. Create a
    LibraryItem.DeployableIdentity
    instance to specify the source virtual machine or vApp to be captured in an OVF template.
  2. Create a
    LibraryItem.CreateTarget
    instance to identify the content library where the OVF template is stored.
  3. Create a
    LibraryItem.CreateSpec
    instance to specify the properties of the OVF template.
  4. Initiate a synchronous create operation by
    using the
    POST https://<
    vcenter_ip_address_or_fqdn
    >/api/vcenter/ovf/library-item
    HTTP request
    .
  5. Verify the outcome of the create operation.
