15. Close IIS.
16. Copy and paste the contents of the original Repository folder, the .hive folder, the dist folder, and
the crates folder, to the new repository location.
17. Add the new repository entry to the machine registry. On a 64-bit machine, go to HKEY_LOCAL_
MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\VMware, Inc.\LocalRepositories. On a 32-bit machine, go
to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VMware, Inc.\LocalRepositories.
18. Right-click LocalRepositories, and then select New > String Value.
19. Right-click the new value, and the select Rename. Type the name of your new repository.
20. Right-click the new repository name, and then select Modify. The Edit String dialog box appears.
21. In the Data Value text box, type the fully qualified URIfor the repository. For example,
http://<machinename>/NewRepository.
22. Click OK.
23. Open an Internet Explorer window, and then browse to your new virtual directory. For example,
http://<machinename>/NewRepository. The web page should display the .hive,dists, and crates
folders. The crates folder contains any copied packages (*.crate files).
24. To keep the new repository synchronized with the original repository, you must continue to copy the
files from the original repository to the new repository. You can use one of the following methods:
n
Manually copy the files from the original repository to the new repository.
n
Use a commercial mirroring application.
n
If you are using VCM, you configure the Remote Command Package Mirroring template to copy
packages between repositories, or write you own VBScript to run as a remote command to copy
the files specified in the configuration steps above from the old repository to the new repository.
Install Package Studio
The VMware vCenter Configuration Manager Package Studio and the repository must be installed on the
same machine. The process installs the application files and specifies the repository to which Package
Studio will publish packages.
NOTE When Package Studio is uninstalled from a machine, the locally saved projects and .crate files
remain on the machine, allowing you to copy them to another machine or to delete them manually if they
are not needed.
Prerequisites
Target machine meets the supported hardware requirements, operating system, and software
requirements. See "Software Provisioning Requirements" on page 9 for currently supported platforms and
requirements.
Access to the PackageStudio.msi, which is available on the VMware website or in the vCenter
Configuration Manager application files. The default location in the VCMapplication files is C:\Program
Files (x86)\VMware\VCM\AgentFiles\Products.
