Configuring Virtual Machine Advanced Parameter property using OVF template

Products

• VMware vSphere ESXi

Issue/Introduction

Virtual Machine advanced configuration parameters are not updating to the VM after deploying from OVF Template.

Environment

VMware vCenter server

VMware ESXi

Resolution

Configuring any VM Advanced Parameter (in this case e.g.  "ethernetX.udpRSS = "1" ) via OVF template so that it can be automatically updated during VM deployment:

Edit the required OVF descriptor file (i.e. <VM-Name>.ovf) and add below entry:
You can put this property under "<VirtualHardwareSection>" :

 <vmw:ExtraConfig ovf:required="true" vmw:key="ethernetX.udpRSS" vmw:value="1"/> 

OR

Manually add required 'Advance Parameter' to the VM (Edit Settings) -> Convert that VM to OVF Template -> check whether required property exist in .ovf file
