Deploy the OVA to vCenter/ESXi

部署到 ESXi 6.5 時失敗，錯誤訊息

Line 163: Unable to parse 'tools.syncTime' for attribute 'key' on element 'Config'.

解決方法: 使用 OVF-Tool 先解開 OVA 檔，編輯 OVF 檔的內容

# Before
<vmw:Config ovf:required="true"  vmw:key="tools.syncTime" vmw:value="true"/>

# After
<vmw:Config ovf:required="false"  vmw:key="tools.syncTime" vmw:value="true"/>

存檔後，重新再部署一次。
