I'm trying to import an OVA file with settable OVF properties for configuration (product key, network configuration) into vCloud with ovftool. It seems from the documentation that I should be using the --prop option to set these values, but they don't seem to get passed through vCloud to the deployed vApp, and the system gives an error about unconfigured properties when it tries to start up. I can go in the vCloud interface and manually enter them for my vApp, but I was hoping to automate the process with ovftool.
At first I thought the issue was that the properties where at the VM level instead of the vApp level, but changing the OVA in vSphere to move the properties to the vApp itself produces the same result. Using the same command to import the OVA directly into vSphere correctly sets the properties with either version.
Is setting of OVF properties for vCloud supported by ovftool? If so, what is the correct syntax?
Currently running:
ovftool -o --acceptAllEulas --prop:productkey="XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX" --prop:ipaddress="10.146.3.1" --prop:netmask="255.255.0.0" --prop:gateway="10.146.1.254" vApp.ova vcloud://vclouddirector?org=IT&vdc=IT&catalog=IT&vapp=test1
Thanks.
