OVFTOOL - Configuration file syntax for parameters without explicit values

[cjstaples-emc]

(Easy) Question… Regarding the use of global configuration file (ovftool.cfg) and local configuration file with OVFTOOL.

Syntax is given only for comments and parameters which are name-value pairs, e.g. datastore=DATASTORE-NAME.

For a single parameter without a corresponding value, e.g. –acceptAllEulas, should these parameters be expressly set to TRUE?

Or can they simply be present (no equals sign)? Both styles seem to work properly for --acceptAllEulas option.

Example: which of the following CFG files shows the expected syntax? Or are both acceptable?

acceptAllEulas=true

disableVerification=true

quiet=true

datastore=S123D0001

ipAllocationPolicy=fixed

or

acceptAllEulas

disableVerification

quiet

datastore=S123D0001

ipAllocationPolicy=fixed

(Yeah, I know - this question probably is a gimme. :smileygrin: Just curious if there's anything to trip over here. )

Hi cjs ,


This seems very similar to what i need help with. Did you ever get an answer to this question ? and how did you pass this file to the ovftool command line ?


This is a long shot considering this post is almost 4 years old .


Thanks in advance
