Uploading vmdk Files gives 504 error
I am attempting to upload a 43gb VMDK file to my Antsle. Whenever I attempt to upload it as I click the "Import" button on the bottom I get a 504 "Gateway Timeout" error every time. Is it possible that I can create the template via command line so I can SCP rather than rely on the webui?
Hello,
There are couple workaround that you can use for the large upload to antsle:
- Try logging in with antsle's private IP address instead of hostname.
Example: http://antsle_private_ip:3000 - For Image Source, change this to Path and import the file after copying this over to your anstle.
Thank you,

Here's a basic example of an Ansible playbook to create a VM template from the VMDK:
[code]
- name: Create VM Template from VMDK
hosts: ansible_server
become: yes
tasks:
- name: Create VM Template
vmware_guest:
vcenter_hostname: "{{ vcenter_hostname }}"
vcenter_username: "{{ vcenter_username }}"
vcenter_password: "{{ vcenter_password }}"
datastore_name: "{{ datastore_name }}"
vm_name: "my_vm_template"
template: yes
disk_spec:
- size: 43G
file_path: "/path/to/vm_images/43gb.vmdk"
[/code]
Remember to replace the placeholders like vcenter_hostname, vcenter_username, vcenter_password, datastore_name, and /path/to/vm_images/43gb.vmdk with your actual values.
