Create Template from Scratch.

$

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.
