Creating the VMware Assets VM on VMware vSphere

Follow these steps to create the Assets VM Image for VMware vSphere. This procedure generates an ISO file based on the Talos VM base image containing a local cache. This image is different from the base Talos image ISO file used for the EDA Kubernetes VMs, but is based on it.

Note: This procedure is needed if you plan to deploy the Assets VM on VMware vSphere

In the edaadm repository that you cloned or downloaded, go to the bundles folder.
```
cd path/to/edaadm-repository/bundles
```

Generate the Assets VM OVA for VMware vSphere.

The following command generates the VMware vSphere Talos OVA for the Assets VM.

make create-asset-vm-vmware-boot-ova

The output should be similar to the following:

Rename the VMware vSphere Assets VM image.
Rename the generated image to a convenient name so that you can copy or use it in the future.
```
mv eda-cargo/talos-asset-vm-boot-imgs/vmware-amd64.ova eda-cargo/talos-asset-vm-boot-imgs/eda-asset-vm-vmware-amd64.ova
```
