Hi Guys,
I am working on a OVF build from a existing VM. This VM is deployed from a template and then gets additional configuration through powerCLI. The last step is to configure the OVF properties and export the OVF. The properties are very minimal i.e. network configuration only.
The reason i did not use VMStudio is because we had to use an existing VM Template and build on it further. All I need is to get the following incorporated in the OVF properties for the VM.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Environment

<ve:EthernetAdapterSection>
<ve:Adapter ve:mac="00:50:56:93:40:99" ve:network="VM Network" ve:unitNumber="7"/>
</ve:EthernetAdapterSection>
</Environment>
I want to know if I cant just suply this xml or use powercli vAppConfigSpec object. I am not very clear on how to use this
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
