<p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">OvfParams</span></code> class defines the common attributes for all OVF
deployment parameters. OVF parameters serve several purposes:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Describe information about a given OVF package.</li>
<li>Describe default deployment configuration.</li>
<li>Describe possible deployment values based on the deployment environment.</li>
<li>Provide deployment-specific configuration.</li>
</ul>
<p>Each OVF parameters class specifies a particular configurable aspect of OVF
deployment. An aspect has both a query-model and a deploy-model. The
query-model is used when the OVF package is queried, and the deploy-model
is used when deploying an OVF package.</p>
<p>Most OVF parameter classes provide both informational and deployment
parameters. However, some are purely informational (for example, download
size) and some are purely deployment parameters (for example, the flag to
indicate whether registration as a vCenter extension is accepted).</p>
