govc/ova-version

Defines any additional command line options to pass to ansible for playbooks

The version of the OVA Resource that is deployed via the govc/commands.

Various OVA appliances exhibit unique and strange behaviors that need to be accounted for by the Digital Rebar deployment tooling at times.

For example, the VCSA 6.x OVA deployment; when complete, uses 'root@vsphere.local' account name. This is used by the govc-wait-for-vcenter task to verify the API is fully up, and the deployment is complete. However, in VCSA 7.x the username is secretly and mystically changed to 'administrator@vsphere.local'.

Setting the govc/ova-type to vcsa, and this Param to 7, allows the tooling to switch auth accounts.

In the future, if unique rules in various places are required, then the combination of "ova-type" and "ova-version" can be codified in the tooling to react accordingly.
