Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, D
Explanation
Deploying a virtual machine from an OVF template requires using the 'Deploy OVF Template' option in the vSphere Client, selecting a datastore, and customizing settings during the deployment process. The content library is not required for deployment from a local OVF file, and manual extraction of the OVF template is not a supported method.
- A. Correct.
Correct: Using the 'Deploy OVF Template' option in the vSphere Client allows you to browse to the local OVF file and start the deployment process.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Although the content library can store OVF templates, it is not mandatory when deploying an OVF template from a local file. This step is unnecessary in this scenario.
- C. Correct.
Correct: During the OVF deployment process, you must select a destination datastore to store the virtual machine files.
- D. Correct.
Correct: The OVF deployment wizard allows customization of settings, such as network and storage, before completing the deployment.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Manually extracting and importing the OVF template using an SCP client is not the recommended or supported method for deploying a virtual machine from an OVF template.
