信息技术 - 开放式虚拟化格式（OVF）规范

[中文适用范围]： 开放虚拟化格式 (OVF) 规范描述了一种开放、安全、高效且可扩展的格式，用于打包和分发在虚拟系统中运行的软件。OVF 软件包支持创建可移植的虚拟系统，并在虚拟化平台之间传输虚拟系统。此版本 (2.1) 旨在允许 OVF 1.x 工具在以下方面与 OVF 2.x 描述符兼容：现有的 OVF 1.x 工具应该能够解析 OVF 2.x 描述符。如果正常运行需要依赖 2.x 功能，现有的 OVF 1.x 工具应该能够发出警告/错误。 [外文原描述]： 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.
