Convert a VM into a template

Turns a powered-off VM into a reusable template. The VM can no longer boot, but its disks become the source for new deployments.

Server hostname or IP

Reference (ref) of the pluginDefaults to apply to this task.

Default443

Server port

Defaults to 443.

Trust store path

Optional path to a PKCS12 trust store containing the CA certificate(s) used to validate the vCenter/ESXi server's TLS certificate. If omitted (or if the path does not exist), the JVM's default trust store (system CA certificates) is used instead. Certificate validation is always enforced; this plugin never disables TLS certificate validation.
