<note><para>If you are uploading a template that was created using vSphere Client, be sure the OVA file does not contain an ISO. If it does, the deployment of VMs from the template will fail.</para></note>

<para>Templates are uploaded based on a URL. HTTP is the supported access protocol. Templates are frequently large files. You can optionally gzip them to decrease upload times.</para>

|
<listitem><para><emphasis role="bold">Name and Display Text</emphasis>. These will be shown in the UI, so

choose something descriptive.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>If the OS type of the stopped VM is not listed, choose Other.</para>
|
|
<note><para>Generally you should not choose an older version of the OS than the version in the image. For example, choosing CentOS 5.4 to support a CentOS 6.2 image will in general not work. In those cases you should choose Other.</para></note></listitem>
