Hi Ignazio,
never tested it, I may suppose that during the installation the appliance
is created or downloaded (but I may be totally wrong). As by documentation:

For help using or hacking on OVSvApp solution, you can send an email to the
OpenStack Development Mailing List <mailto:openstack-dev at lists.openstack.org>;
kindly use the [Networking-vSphere] Tag in the subject.

Br,
Federico
