Launch your VMware vSphere Client and connect to the ESXi host or vCenter server.

Verify the details on the OVF template details page, then click Next.

In the End User License Agreement window, click Accept, then click Next.

In the Name and Location window, specify:

In the Name field, enter the name of the new virtual machine.

In the Inventory Location area, select the appropriate folder. (If the vSphere Client is connected directly to an ESXi 
host, this option does not appear.)

Click Next. 

In the Deployment Configuration window, select the desired configuration (for example, Express, Standard, 
Professional, etc.) and view the resources required for the configuration you selected. 

We recommend you reserve 100% of CPU and memory resources for optimal performance.

In the Disk Format window, select Thick Provision Lazy Zeroed to provision the virtual machine virtual disks, then 
click Next. Do not select Thin Provision because if there is no free disk space when the virtual machine needs it, Prime 
Infrastructure will fail. 

In the Network Mapping window, select a network for the virtual machine to use, then click Next. 

In the Ready to Complete window, review your settings, select Power on After Deployment, then click Finish.

Depending on your network speed and the IOPS of the server, the deployment can take a few minutes to complete.
