ESX4i : create templates?

[pearlyshells]

I just installed ESX4i (free) and it's working fine but I need to create a template. How can I do that? I don't see a way to do that.

VMware templates is a feature of vCenter, you can't create a VMware template on standard ESX or ESXi host.

Hi,

you need to purchase a paid license (Essentials is the cheapest one) to be able to use vm's' templates.

vCenter Server is required.

But there are some tricks, see:
