Template uploaded to vCloud is showing as Suspended.

Products

• VMware Cloud Director

Issue/Introduction

Creating a template from a running VM results in the template showing suspended 

Environment

VMware Cloud Director 10.3

VMware Cloud Director 10.4

Cause

This is caused when the vApps are added to the catalog from a vApp that is in a running state as per

https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/vmware-cis/cloud-director/vmware-cloud-director/10-5/add-a-standalone-virtual-machine-to-a-catalog.html

"You can add standalone VM to a catalog even if the VM is in a running state. However, if you select a running VM, it is added to the catalog as a vApp template, and the VM is in a suspended state."

Resolution

This behavior happens by design, continue with deploying the vApp

Alternatively clone the template from a powered off source machine
