Phạm vi áp dụng / Scope of standard

The Open Virtualization Format (OVF) Specification
describes an open, secure, efficient and extensible format for the
packaging and distribution of software to be run in virtual
systems.

The OVF package enables the authoring of portable virtual
systems and the transport of virtual systems between virtualization
platforms. This version of the specification (2.1) is intended to
allow OVF 1.x tools to work with OVF 2.x descriptors in the
following sense:

• Existing OVF 1.x tools should be able to parse OVF 2.x
descriptors.

• Existing OVF 1.x tools should be able to give warnings/errors
if dependencies to 2.x features are required for correct
operation.

If a conflict arises between the schema, text, or tables, the
order of precedence to resolve the conflicts is schema; then text;
then tables. Figures are for illustrative purposes only and are not
a normative part of the standard. A table may constrain the text
but it shall not conflict with it.

The profile conforms to the cited CIM Schema classes where used.
Any requirements contained in the cited CIM Schema classes shall be
met. If a conflict arises the CIM Schema takes precedence.

The profile conforms to the cited OVF XML Schema. It may
constrain the schema but it shall not conflict with it. If a
conflict arises the OVF XML Schema takes precedence
