Hmmm not 100% what you are looking for so...

based on what I understand what I would do is create a script (Powercli\powershell) that will modify the template virtual components.

However ... increasing the  hard drive will also required to extend the disk in the guest OS ..

Hmm can you provide in more detail what you are looking to do?

Yes I would like to modify a Template HW with an OVF. Also to increate HDD is it possible with powercli or with other vmware program?

Also, is it possible to create with OVF the HDD, memory, CPU in vcenter VM without vmdk files?

Best Regards,
Javier
