1. Go to Settings > Transporters and then click Deploy New Transporter.

2. In the dialog that opens, click VMware appliance.

   
   

3. In the Deploy New Transporter - VMware Appliance dialog that opens, proceed as follows:

   • Transporter name: Enter a name for your Transporter.

   • Host or cluster: Select a target host or cluster.

   • Datastore: Select a target datastore.

   • Virtual network: Select a target virtual network.
