ovftool hedvig Tool Settings

This section describes how to make ovftool_hedvig tool settings. Also defined are which settings are required and which are for networking (both primary and secondary interfaces).

  • Here are the methods by which you can make the settings:

    • environment variables,

    • one or more configuration files,

    • command line parameters, or

    • a mixture of these three methods.

  • The settings can be overridden, and the order of precedence is:

    1. environment variables

    2. configuration file 1

    3. ... (more configuration files) ... to configuration file N

    4. command line parameters
