OVF provisioning

BMC Server Automation version 8.2 supports Open Virtualization Format (OVF) provisioning, using the BLCLI commands:

VMCaptureJob:captureAndStageVM
VMCaptureJob:importVM

Using these commands, you can capture a virtual machine as a .ovf file, then stage it as a template and a Virtual Guest Package (VGP).

For detailed information about how to do this, see the OVF provisioning concepts chapter in the BLCLI Help.
