Convert a VM to a VM template - vCenter

You can convert VM information to a VM template and then deploy VMs from the VM template. For more information, see Deploy a VM from a VM template - vCenter .

To convert a VM to a VM template, the VM must be agent-managed and powered off. For more information, see Install the SA Agent on a VM and Power on/off a VM - vCenter and SCVMM .

In the SA Client, select the Virtualization tab to display your virtualization inventory.
Navigate to the VM you want to convert to a VM template. If the VM is powered on, power it off.
Select the desired VM and right-click or select the Actions menu. Select VM Manage > Convert to VM Template to display the Convert VM to VM Template window.
Convert VM to VM Template: Verify the VM you want to convert to a VM template, then select Next. Or you can select Start Job to accept the remaining defaults and run the job.
Scheduling: Select when you want the job to run, then select Next.
Notifications: Optionally enter a notifier, then select Next.
Job Status: Select the Start Job or Schedule Job button. This runs the job or schedules it to be run in the future and displays the Job ID number in the window banner. You can use the Job ID number to look up the job under the Jobs and Sessions tab.
When the job runs, it converts the VM to a VM template and displays the results.
