Yes, there is OVF Transfer plug- in - https://marketplace.vmware.com/vsx/solutions/vmware-realize-orchestrator-ovf-transfer-plug-in

Another options would be to either call ovftool directly, or check if it is possible to leverage vAPI plug-in do deploy OVFs stored in vsphere/vCenter Content Library.

Not sure. It is a 3rd party plug-in, so you may want to contact the plug-in author directly for detailed information how it is implemented.

Hi,

yes the plugin can

Export] Export of virtual machines as OVF templates
[Import] Import of virtual machines as OVF or OVA templates (e.g. to Host, Cluster or Resource Pool)
[Import] Automated creation of Import workflows based on OVF/A
[Import] Support for vSS and vDS PortGroups
[Import] Support for multiple vNics
[Import] Support for OVF properties and Deployment Options, e.g. used for virtual appliance imports
[Import/Export] Supported sources/destinations: Locale file, HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, CIFS
[Import] Import OVF/A using vCAC/vRA – Service Blueprint
[Import/Export] Support for Basic and Digest authentication
[Import] Upload of any file to datastore (e.g. ISO)

The imported Machine object is returned.

We have a good documentation were you can see which options were offered over the plugin. Just login into the Marketplace and get the documentation.

The plugin is free of charge, so can can download and test it if it fits your need. If you need some additional feature we would like to hear them 😉

Regards

Christian
