To upload a custom VM template:

  1. On the Catalogue tab select the data center
  2. Click the + Add button and select the option to Create from OVA
  3. Select the OVA file. Abiquo imports OVAs created in VMware. The OVA shoulld contain a single virtual system and the disk format should be compatible with Abiquo. See Template Compatibility Tablecompatibility table
  4. After you upload the OVA, edit the template as required. On the Advanced tab, check that the Operating system is set correctly

The template will be uploaded to your Catalogue and can be used to deploy VMs within a virtual appliance.
Note: Your Appliance Manager remote service must be correctly configured to allow disk uploads. Browser upload uses HTTPS protocols and larger disk files may require a different process.

Users can create clones of their VM disks as instance templates. In private cloud, instances are stored with the master templates in the Catalogue.
