Tip

DocumentationDeploy a VM from an OVA with parameters

You will need a compatible OVA template with guest tools.
Abiquo supports OVAs like the ones you can create using VMware systems for working with vCenter or vCenter clusters, and the OVA can contain one VM with multiple disks.

You can then edit the template and create variables to match your OVF parameters, using the prefix "ovfenv."

When you create a VM from the template, the platform will add these variables to the VM. You can then edit the VM and update, change, or add variables as required.
