Creating MyvApp.ova from VM1.ova and VM2.ova

Hi All,

I have two .ova's with me. Both are SLES based and are highly customised. Designed to work togethar.

1) Is it possible using ovftool to create a vApp containing these two vms.? 

2) And also adding custom vApp properties to it.?

I can do this manually using vsphere client. And also using powercli scripts.

But I wanted to do it in an offline manner i.e. not involving any running esx host.

Please share your thoughts.

Thanks
