For Tanzu to create the TKG Clusters, it must have access to the online templates for the virtual machines. This access is gained through the addition of a content library. A content library is a container object for VM templates and other types of files. These files can be ISO images, text files, or any other type of file that users may want to share across a VMware environment.
A content library can be local or subscribed. A local library is one in which the VMware administrator uploads and controls access to the files through publishing. A subscribed library attaches to an existing published library to which the VMware administrator has no control. The owner of the subscribed library controls publishing.
This procedure describes adding the TKG content library in preparation for the Tanzu installation.
Note: Doing so ensures that VMware gathers only what it requires when it deploys the TKG Clusters.
Note: Since the images are on-demand, the storage usage should be minimal. The type of datastore is not relevant. In this example, a PowerFlex datastore that is presented using NVMe/TCP is selected.
The library is now added and available.
