Hello all,
I wish to create a virtual machine and upload it to a secure ftp site for download.
1-The virtual machine is large as it contains OS, RDBMS, application -
2-End users are not very technical
So - I am using the ovftool to 'chunk' and compress providing the ability to transfer files and if there is a timeout or network issue, not having to start all over again.
Plus, ovftool 'packages' all the files into a tar of my many file virtual machine.
The users would download the multiple *vmdk.gz* files. Then what??
Do I need to provide a script to take the vmdk files and convert them back using ovftool into a vmx file???
Can they use VMware Player to 'open' i.e. import the ovf files... I notice there is in fact the ability to open those files
