Hello All,
I am new to Vsphere (VMware) and has not being really involved in much.
We had template earlier and were deploying VM's using it .
Now we have a requirement to create Template for new OS.
So How do i go further with it ?
As per my finding :
1. Create Virtual Machines.
2. Import it to Vsphere
3. Convert Template out of it .
4 Deploy
Since i wanted my template to have all patches .
Hence i went ahead and created Virtual Machine in my local machine, made it up to date(all patches included) -> created OVf file -> then imported OVF file to Vsphere.
Purpose being that in future if we want to have a update template then i can re run the latest patches on the Virtual Machine then convert OVe and get it imported to Vsphere.
I am doing it correct or there is some best practice for this?
Please share your input and suggestions.
