ova/ovftool-extra-options

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

This Param allows the operator to inject any specific additional options to the ovftool command when doing an OVA deployment.

This Param should:

• use properly formatted ovftool options
• MUST NOT repeat any existing options built up by the Task
• do not include ANY newlines in the options
• options should be separated by a single white space

By default, this Param does not specify a default value.

Note

Do not use ova/ovftool-options for additional options, this Param is the correct one to insert additional flags.

As an alternative for command line option parsing, see the Param ova/ovaftool-deploy-more-mapping-template - which is a MUCH more advanced use case alternative.

Example: enhancing the OVFtool standard output to provide more verbose details if there are problems deploying an OVA, set this extra options Param as follows:

• --X:logToConsole=True --X:logLevel="verbose"

Rerun the deployment Stage/Task, and now the job-log should have much more verbose logged output for troubleshooting.
