This README file explains how to use OVF Converter Tool to generate OVF file from .qcow2, .img (raw) disk images.

CONTENTS OF THIS FILE
=====================
This readme file contains the following sections:

o Introduction
o Tool Requirements
o Installation
o Usage
o Trouble shooting
o Release History


Introduction
==================
OVF Converter Tool is a Command Line Interface (CLI) basically designed to generate OVF files from disk image such as
.qcow2, and .img (raw format) which are other than .vmdk.  Given a path to .qcow2 image this tool can generate .vmdk
and .ovf files.

The user can optionally specify name and location of ovf file. Also, one can use command line options to give disk
size (GB), memory (MB), number of cpus, OS type, disk controller required for VM which will get deployed using
generated OVF.

Generated OVF file can be used to deploy VM in Vmware vSphere or vCloud Director.

Note- Currently this tool supports only Ubuntu platform.


Tool Requirements
==================

This tool requires the following software package:
o    apt-get package manager
o    qemu-utils
o    python 2.7
o    python-lxml
o    libxml2-dev
o    libxslt-dev
o    python-dev
o    python-pip

Install.sh script in this folder will install all of these software packages.
