ovftool "locator does not refer to an object"

March 20, 2011, 10:22 am

I am trying to create an OVF from a vm in vsphere - I'm running ovftool on a linux machine, and using the following syntax (I got this from the ovftool users guide):

ovftool username@myvcenter.aaa.com/"datacenter name"/vm/vmname /local/path/tostoreit/vnname.ovf

It prompts for a password, I enter the password, and it comes back with:

Opening VI source: vi://username@myvcenter.aaa.com/datacenter name/vmname
Error: Locator does not refer to an object:vi://username@myvcenter.aaa.com/datacenter name/vmname

 

Incidentally, I get the exact same error when I try using the mac version of ovftool, and the windows version.

Please help - I know this should work. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, but I have to get this working pretty fast.

Thank you!!

ovftool failing to convert vmx to ovf

Hello,

I'm attempting to do a vmware to ovf converstion.  However, I'm receiving some fairly generic errors from ovftool and was hoping I could get some help.

 

Here are the console messages when I attempt to convert:

But when I attempt to repair the disk, I get the following:

No errors were found on the virtual disk, '/var/lib/vmware/Virtual Machines/vm/test.vmdk'.

 

Any help would be apprecaited.  Is there a way to increase the verbosity of the logging?

Here is my ovftool version info: VMware ovftool 2.0.1 (build-260188)

 

Thanks!

Error: Invalid access to memory location - Fix an OVA?

March 9, 2012, 2:11 pm

I have a VM that I exported as an OVA as a "Just in Case" backup a while ago.  Today I had to use it and I cannot import it.

There was an ISO mounted when I did the export and it exported the ISO as well.  The error I get is when it tries to access the ISO, it fails.

 

I downloaded OVFtool in the hopes I could strip the ISO from the OVA, but I am getting an error trying to use the --noImageFiles option.  it tells me:

 

E:\ESX\OVA's>ovftool --noImageFiles Win7-Tax64.ova test.ova
Opening OVA source: Win7-Tax64.ova
Opening OVA target: test.ova
Writing OVA package: test.ova
Disk Transfer Failed
Error: Invalid access to memory location.
Completed with errors

 

 

Is it possible to remove this ISO?

After searching through the forum I uninstalled OVFtool from my E: drive and put it on C: with the same result.  Here is the logToConsole:

Was giving an SSL error, now giving a connecgt error. No firewall involved. I wonder Windows does not have ssh, so, why is vConverter using ssh.

 

Any help much appreciated.

Maximum (realistic) sizes for OVA/OVF format and export?

Hi- has anyone hit any problems with exporting large (e.g. > 1TB) VMs in OVA/OVF format?

 

I realise that you can split the files generated, but leaving aside any issues to do with the file-system on which the files reside, are there any inherent gotchas with the export mechanism or the file format that would mean it's not a good idea to rely on this for exporting large VMs...?

Thanks!

Any suggestions on how to fix this?  It seems to be a problem with ovftool itself?

Could not look up host [username]. Proper password, but will not convert

Hey all. I know I am using proper syntax, but it seems like there's a missing service running on my esx cluster. I am able to log in with vSphere, but cannot use ovftool to export a stopped server in my ESX 4.0 cluster environment.

 

command I am using:

 

ovftool vi://[username]:[password]@vi://192.168.77.111/[serverid] d:\[serveridoutput].ovf

 

the error I am receiving is as follows:

 

Error: Could not lookup host: [username]

Completed with errors

 

 

Now it's interesting because the server does seem to know that I am using a proper user/pass because if I make a mistake on the password, I am given another chance to log in, until I miss three tries. If I enter the correct password, it seems to almost connect, then fails out with the above error. I would *REALLY* appreciate some help with this guys.

 

Thanks in advance!

I'm trying to settup a vApp with one VM via the Java SDK api, how can this be achieved?

 

I have thried :

GuestCustomizationSectionType customSection = childVm.getGuestCustomizationSection();
customSection.setComputerName("4pm-test-00004");
customSection.setVirtualMachineId("4pm-test-00004");

 

Only the computer name is updated correctly but the Virtual Machine name is not...which setting is the right one?

 

I'm posting also a picture of the deployed VM to see what am I trying to change

Attempting to deploy .OVA from fileserver to ESXi host and/or vSphere cluster

I am attempting to determine an easy method to deploy .OVA templates for quick provisioning/deployment of VM's.

 

I have built VM baselines using a development vSphere cluster and exported the VM to .OVA using vSphere client. Those .OVA files reside on a Linux fileserver with ovftool installed on the system and network access to future ESXi and/or vSphere clusters.

 

Is it possible to 'deploy' the .OVA template from the Linux fileserver directly to a remote ESXi host's datastore and/or vSphere cluster datastore? I cant get it to work.

 

My OVA file:

 

 

[root@centos_lab1 u0]# ls -lha

total 5.9G

drwxr-xr-x.  3 root root 4.0K Jun 28 08:48 .

dr-xr-xr-x. 24 root root 4.0K Jun 25 11:30 ..

-rw-r--r--   1 root root 5.9G Jun 24 10:01 test.ova

 

 

Attempting to deploy to ESXi host:

 

 

[root@centos_lab1 u0]# ovftool test.ova vi://root:test123@172.16.16.81

Opening OVA source: test.ova

Any idea what I am doing wrong here? Is what I am trying to do even possible with ovftool?

Does anyone know how to sign ova with timestamp?

I am creating ova file using VMware OVF tool .

And I want to use public Code Signing Certificate like published by Globalsign or Verisign.

But current OVF tool doucment is not introduce how to sign with timestamp.

So, when public cert is expired, just ova file is also expired.

This is problem.

Ex: Using vsphere client call deploying OVF Template, then display signing is expired.

 

Document

https://www.vmware.com/support/developer/ovf/ovf350/ovftool-350-userguide.pdf

 

Deploy an OVF Template

http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-4-esx-vcenter/index.jsp?topic=/com.vmware.vsphere.vmadmin.doc_41/vsp_vm_guide/working_with_ovf_templates/t_import_a_virtual_appliance.html

 

Will signed code still be valid after the Code Signing Certificate expires?

 

The digital signature on code will not expire, when a timestamping service is used. A time stamp shows the validity of the certificate at the time the code was signed. Unless you’re adding additional code to your application, a new signature will not need to be applied even if the certificate used to initially sign the code expires. GlobalSign Code Signing Certificates include a time stamp feature.

ovftool VM->ova/f fails with SHA1 digest of file . . . disk.iso does not match manifest"

I'm trying to create an OVA file from an installed VM.  If I try creating it with ovftool 3.5, it downloads everything completely then gives me the following error:

SHA1 digest of file https://172.31.68.10:443/ha-nfc/52cca89a-6cde-c7a7-0810-25ff2197d3d6/disk-1.iso does not match manifest
and then deletes the file(s) it generated.

 

I am using compress=0 and --noImageFiles so i don't get the install iso.

 

If I manually go into Edit Settings and remove the cdrom, then 3.5 creates the ova correctly.

 

If I use ovftool 2.0, it succeeds even without manually removing the cdrom iso.

 

I've seen posts where users get the same error I do when they are going ova/f to vm and the answer is to delete the manifest.   Since all of the files are deleted after the error message, I don't have the option to delete the locally created manifest.

 

Is there a way to keep the files around even after a manifest error?

 

Does anyone know why ovftool 3.5 would fail in this case and 2.0 would word?  Has there been some deprecation between the two of them?

 

Thanks,
Mike

Segmentation Fault when using vcloud target

I'm trying to use ovftool to automate OVA deployments to vCloud Director 5.1. I have installed ovftool 3.0.1 on Ubuntu and tested out some operations. Everything seems to work except that I always get a segmentation fault when I invoke a vcloud target.

 

Here is the logging output:

No support for the virtual hardware device type '7'

Hello

 

When using ovftool:

 

# ovftool file.ova file

Opening OVA source: file.ova

The manifest validates

Opening VMX target: file

Error: OVF Package is not supported by target:

- Line 60: OVF hardware element 'ResourceType' with instance ID '3': No support for the virtual hardware device type '7'.

Completed with errors

 

When trying to deploy ova via vCenter i got similar error:

Details: Line 60: OVF hardware element Resource Type with instance ID 3. No support for the virtual hardware device type 7.

 

When looking at the xml file i can see that device type 7 is related to the following:

<rasd:Address>1</rasd:Address>

<rasd:Description>VIRTIO Controller</rasd:Description>

<rasd:ElementName>VIRTIOController 0</rasd:ElementName>

<rasd:InstanceID>3</rasd:InstanceID>

<rasd:ResourceType>7</rasd:ResourceType>

 

How can i make it working ?

 

Is there any way to exclude that element from ova file ?

 

Thanks,

Michal

ovftool - Managing Resource Pools

Hello,

 

I am using vSphere ESX (4 or 5).

I am writing automatic scripts using esxcfg and ovftool (on windows) commands.

 

I have some questions:

 

1. How can i create Resource Pool's? (if it cannot be done using ovftool, is there another way? maybe using esxcfg?)

 

2. What is the exact syntax of ovftool to deploy under that Resource Pool?

I am looking for something like this:

ovftool --noImageFiles -ds=dsName --net:"Network1"="Network2" --name=MyVM "C:/MyVM.ovf" "vi://user:password@192.168.1.1/Resource/myResource"

or anything else that can help.

 

 

Thanks!

Hi All,

 

I just started exploring the ovf-tools. I have an ovf template available for a VM and I was able to deploy it in Workstation using the GUI.

Is there a way / command available to use this pre-existing .ovf template and deploy a Virtual Machine in workstation using this; through ovf-tool?

 

Any help would be appreciated.

I have an OVF I'm trying to import into VI (ESX 3.5) and I'm getting the following error:

 

Error: OVF Package is not supported by target:
- Line 57: No space left for device '7' on parent controller '6'.

 

Here's the snippet of OVF:

      <Item>
        <rasd:Address>0</rasd:Address>
        <rasd:ElementName>IDE 0</rasd:ElementName>
        <rasd:InstanceID>6</rasd:InstanceID>
        <rasd:ResourceSubType>piix4</rasd:ResourceSubType>
        <rasd:ResourceType>5</rasd:ResourceType>
      </Item>
      <Item>
        <rasd:AddressOnParent>0</rasd:AddressOnParent>
        <rasd:ElementName>Harddisk disk1</rasd:ElementName>
        <rasd:HostResource>ovf:/disk/disk1</rasd:HostResource>
        <rasd:InstanceID>7</rasd:InstanceID>
        <rasd:Parent>6</rasd:Parent>
