Research direction
The issue asks for deploying an OVF with multiple VMDKs using pyVmomi. The existing sample deploy ovf.py only handles a single VMDK. A contributor should study the OVF specification and the current sample code to understand how to extend it for multiple disks. The solution may involve modifying the script to accept multiple disk paths and handle the OVF descriptor accordingly. Since the issue is old and has no comments, it would be helpful to first ask for clarification from the maintainers about expected behavior before implementing.
