Greetings... I have a Windows Server2008 virtual machine that has been cloned into a Template via functionality in vCenter. I need to deploy this template in our development environment which consists of an ESXi 5.1 host, and a vSphere client running against it. We don't have vCenter running in our dev. environment. Question: How can I deploy this template w/o vCenter being present? Is it as simple as running a converter of some sort against the VMDK file, then creating a new VM from scratch & pointing to the 'existing virtual disk'? The only trick there, is that in the DataStore, I have two VMDK files: filename.vmdk and filename_1.vmdk Thanks!
