Hi Ashish,

The vCenter OVF is for vCenter Server Appliance, hope you looking for the appliance only as there is no OVF for vCenter Server

You can access the following link to download the OVF of vCenter Server 5.0 Appliance

Hope this information is helpful

Hi,

Does it mean during your course of VCP you did not install vCenter Server? if not then your VCP course is not at all complete

With version 5 ov vSphere VMware has come out with vCenter Appliance OVF that is meant for small size of upto 5 ESXi hosts you cannot have more than 5 ESXi hosts connected to vCenter Server Appliance

For larger deployments there is the vCenter Server 5.

Hope this clearifies all your doubts
