COT (the Common OVF Tool) is a tool for editing

[Open Virtualization Format](http://dmtf.org/standards/ovf)

(`.ovf`, `.ova`) virtual appliances, with a focus on virtualized network

appliances such as the [Cisco CSR 1000V](http://www.cisco.com/go/csr1000v)

and [Cisco IOS XRv](http://www.cisco.com/go/iosxrv) platforms.

COT's capabilities include:

* Add a disk or other file to an OVF/OVA

* Edit OVF hardware information (CPUs, RAM, NICs, configuration profiles, etc.)

* Edit product description information in an OVF/OVA

* Edit OVF environment properties

* Display a descriptive summary of the contents of an OVA or OVF package

* Embed a bootstrap configuration text file into an OVF/OVA.

* Remove files and disks from an OVF or OVA package

* Deploy an OVF/OVA to an ESXi (VMware vSphere or vCenter) server to provision

  a new virtual machine (VM), including serial port configuration as needed.
