Dependencies

Content Library

To create VMs the CLI needs a Content Library with the VM Service Images.

• You can find options in https://marketplace.cloud.vmware.com and create your own Content Library in your environment
• Or, for non production environments, you can create a Subscription Content Library:
  • In vSphere, go to Content Libraries and click Create
  • Choose a Name, click Next
  • Select Subscribed content library
  • Use the URL: https://s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/cspmarketplacemainbuck/marketplace-product-files/lib_6d895d4e-36ca-4931-9e63-007463d6397d_2f1b3441-7dc5-4610-9043-f707ba5be2d8.json
  • Click YES to trust the subscription host
  • Fill in other content library settings and click Finish.
