How do I set target VM hostname when deploying OVA?

$
0
0

I'm deploying OVA files to a vCenter using ovftool; it's working perfectly, but I want to go the extra mile and automatically set the hostname of the VM after it is deployed.

 

I found a reference to a 'hostname' property (--prop:hostname=myvm.example.com), but it doesn't actually work

 

Here's my command  line

ovftool --lax --acceptAllEulas --datastore=MySAN --overwrite --powerOn --vmFolder=TestFolder --diskMode=thin --powerOffTarget --prop:hostname=myvm.example.comhttp://myurl.com/path/input.ova vi://vcenteruser:password@mycenter.example.com/MyDC/host/MyD/Resources/OVFTest

 

So what is the proper way to do this?


ovftool - What is wrong with my command?

I have tried everything and having trouble with this command and here is the error I am getting.  I have tried "--network=VM Network" and every option I can think of and those options seems correct because the command does execute, but I get the same results.  The thing is I do not currently need a network adapter installed on this machine after I bring it into the VMWare environment

 

 

 

C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware OVF Tool>ovftool.exe --datastore=EVA1Disk1 --net work="Host Only" c:\Temp\Netscaler\NSVPX-ESX-9.1-101.5.ovf vi://root@128.1.60.200

Convert ovf template to vsx

$

0

Hello ,

I used the vcenter 4.1 console to Export OVF Template.  We need to be able to load this template in vmware player.  I downloaded ovftool and tried to convert the OVF template so that it could be run in Vmware player.

 

 

This is the command I am issuing to convert the template based off of the OVFTOOL PDF.  This, to my understanding should convert the OVF to a VMX and drop it in the D:\vms folder.  There are 4 disks in this VM server

 

Input

C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware OVF Tool>ovftool -tt=vmx D:\server_name\server_name.ovf D:\vms\

 

Output:

 

Opening OVF source: D:\server\server.ovf
The manifest validates
Opening VMX target: D:\vms\
Warning:
- Target does not support CPU validation.
Error:
-
Completed with errors

 

Needless to say the VMS folder is getting created but nothing else is being converted. 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Deploy OVA to ESXi 5 host directly

Hello all,

 

I have a linux VM on a remote ESXi 5 host that I have installed OVFtool.  That same linux vm has a local "win2k8.ova" ova file.  Here is the command i'm trying to use:

 

ovftool -ds=DS1 -n=MSRVR01 win2k8.ova vi://root:password@172.16.100.20

 

and get the following message:

 

Error: Found wrong kind of object (ResourcePool). Possible completions are:

 

But this is a single ESXi host without any ResourcePools.  How do i get around this?

 

Thanks,

Nick

ovftool: Conversion to monolithic sparse image fails with a Vapp ovf file

$

Hi,

 

We have been trying to create the monolithicSparse Image for the Vapp Ovf using the following OVF Tool command-Line Options

/usr/bin/ovftool --acceptAllEulas -dm=monolithicSparse Test_Vapp.ovf NEW_Vapp.vmdk

 

But the Ovf tool fails to do the conversion with the following message

Error: OVF Package is not supported by target.

 

We have also tried validating the Vapp ovf file using the ovftool schemaValidate and did not find any issues with this.

 

Please let us know if the Ovf tool supports conversion for multiple virtual machines (i.e support for Vapp OVF)

Thanks in advance

OVFtool error - Line 38: Unsupported value '16' for element 'VirtualQuantity'.

Hi Guys,

 

I'm getting the below error when using the OVFtool to convert an OVA file to VMX.

 

Error:

- Line 38: Unsupported value '16' for element 'VirtualQuantity'.

- Virtual machine has 16 virtual CPUs, but the host only supports 8. The number of virtual CPUs may be limited by the guest OS selected for the virtual machine or by the licensing for the host.

 

I am trying to solve it using the syntax option --viCpuResource=<shares>:<reservation>:<limit>

 

However I don't know what to denote in the placeholder <shares>

 

I have also read the OVFtool user guide, but it does not give any info on the viCpuResource option.

 

Can anyone give me some guidance here?

I have a setup where I am accessing vCenter and an ESXi host through a NAT layer. If I try to deploy directly to vCenter, ovftool automatically tries to connect to the ip address of the ESXi host behind the NAT layer, which fails.

 

It looks something like this:

 

[root@ovfimporter mnt]# date; ovftool --datastore="PayGo Storage" --net:"VLan 4=DedicatedPortGroup_NNNN" CUST/CUST.ovf vi://matthew.wallace@10.10.10.1/Customer\ Datacenter/host/PayGo\ Cluster/Resources/Paygo/NNNN\ \(abc44060-35dc-438a-8c79-6bc7586082ab\)/ ;date

Looking at netstat, I saw a hung connection to 443 of one of the ESX hosts in that PayGo Cluster:

 

tcp    1 192.168.0.105:46167     172.17.0.10:443        

SYN_SENT

In this case, 172.17.0.10 is the "real" IP of one of the esx hosts in the PayGo cluster managed by that vCenter, which I can reach from the client running the ovftool only by using the NAT ip of 10.10.10.100.

 

So, I tried to specify the external ip of that host. Per the ovftool 3.5 user guide:

 

 

To convert an OVF package to a vCenter Server, use the following syntax:

> ovftool /ovfs/my_vapp.ovf vi://username:pass@my_vc_server/?ip=10.20.30.40

(Uses a managed ESXi host’s ip address.)


 

Given that, I tried using several syntaxes:

 

ovftool --datastore="PayGo Storage" --net:"VLan 4=DedicatedPortGroup_NNNN" CUST/CUST.ovf vi://matthew.wallace@10.10.10.1/Customer\ Datacenter/host/PayGo\ Cluster/Resources/Paygo/NNNN\ \(abc44060-35dc-438a-8c79-6bc7586082ab\)/?ip=10.10.10.100

 

or even just the simplest version to see if I can get a prompt for going further down in the locator tree:

 

ovftool --datastore="PayGo Storage" --net:"VLan 4=DedicatedPortGroup_NNNN" "vi://matthew.wallace@10.10.10.1/?ip=10.10.10.100"

 

I invariably get a result like this:

 

The manifest validates

Enter login information for target vi://10.10.10.1/

Username: matthew.wallace

Password: *********

Error: Locator does not refer to an object: vi://matthew.wallace@10.10.10.1:443/?ip=10.10.10.100

Completed with errors

 

Outside of the brief mention of the "ip=xxx" param mentioned in the ovftool userguide I've been unable to find any reference to someone successfully using this parameter so I'm uncertain if this is a bug, my not understanding the intention of the parameter as specified in the OVF tool guide, or me using bad syntax.

We have requirement to disable the option of Auto upgrade so that user cannot change it. Please provide the option which I can set at vmx file so that ovf will have the option disable.

Is there a way to disable Settings - Options - Vmware Tools - advanced - Check and upgrade Tools with powering cycling ?

Anybody got the latest Oracle (Sun) Open Storage simulator imported to ESX4?

$

I've been trying to import the ovf-based Oracle storage simulator to ESX4. Also tried importing to Workstation when that failed.

 

No luck. Not with integrated converter, not with standalone converter, not with ovftool. Changing/removing lines in .ovf file brings me a bit further but still no cigar.

 

The process stalls at different points, but typically I get an error about unknown OS or unsupported hardware, sometimes a parse error with no additional info.

 

Has anybody got this working?

 

The simulator is a virtual-box based Solaris appliance.

Problem extracting OVA using latest OVFTool

$
0
0

I have a .ova created supplied to me that I'd like to open on several local copies of VMWare Workstation.

 

On one machine I am able to open it successfully.

 

On another using VMWare Workstation I get warnings that the .ova "did not pass OVF specification conformance or virtual hardware compliance checks" and then if I attempt to retry, I get an "Invalid access to memory location."

 

This is using VMWare Workstation 8.0.0 build-471780 on a Windows 7 Pro 64-bit 6.1.7601, SP 1 machine.

 

Attempting it with the latest build of OVFtool (2.1.0 build-461994) also fails.

 

Here's the output of ovftool.exe to the console - suggestions/ideas welcome!

Mac OSX newbie - where is ovftool after installing the package

which ovftool

 

does not find a match after I have installed the latest version of the tool.  The User Guide does not specify where it is installed on OSX.  How do I validate that it was installed correctly?  I'm using OSX 10.7.x

 

jbayer$ ovftool

I looked in /Library/Application Support
but I only see a Fusion directory, not one for the tool.
Thanks, James

hello, I am stuck.  Any help is much appreciated.

I am simply trying to export an OVF template from a vm (.vmx) in vCenter 4.1.0 using the OVF Tool.

 

The vm is located here:

I can probe the object like this:

[root@r2d2 bin]# ovftool vi://<user>:<password>@helios.blue.roguewave.com/Corvallis/vm/Build\ Server/sles11-sp1-x8664/yoshi

Can someone help identify the correct target locator?

Hi,

 

     I try to upload a physical server image to vcloud but it keep returning this error "Invalid response from Server"

 

 

>ovftool -o --net:"bridged=myNetwork" --ipAllocationPolicy=transientPolicy winphysical.ovf "vcloud://username:password@s1.myvcloud.net/?org=MyOrg&vapp=myTest&vdc=MyVDC&catalog=MyCatalog"
Opening OVF source: winphysical.ovf
The manifest validates

No local configuration options in .ovftool

$

Hello:

 

I am working in a Windows environment with ovftool 3.01.

 

When running the ovftool in a directory that contains an ovf and a .ovftool file, the ovftool does not seem to pick up the local configuration file.

 

> ovftool --help config

 

This will show as "Currently no local configuration options in .ovftool"

 

I have tried a number of permutations: ".ovftool", "<name>.ovftool", even "ovftool.cfg" on the off chance it is looking for the global name.

 

But none of these options work.

 

When I move the file to C:\Documents and Settings\$USERNAME\VMware\ovftool.cfg, which makes it global, it works just fine. So, I know the file is working.

 

But I am managing dozens of unique OVAs, and so having the local configuration option would be most helpful.

 

Am I misnaming the local config? Or is this a known bug or linux-only feature?

 

Thanks,

 

Andrew

I have created my own OVF discriptor XML file for creating Logical Partations on systems and installing OS on the created Virtual machines.But I m facing problem in specifying the Disk Section attributes such as OVF:diskid, OVF:href and other details in my OVF xml file.I mean I m unable to find any clue regarding specifying the raw OS information in OVF file ,so that while deploying the OVF into managed systems ,it automatically picks up the os image from the NIM repository.

 

Thanks in advance .....

ovftool.exe crashes when deploying OVA from Windows 7

I'm experiencing a coredump when attempting to deploy an OVA into vCenter 5.0.0.  I have downloaded the OVA to the Windows 7 PC locally and have run the ovftool from that path as follows:

 

ovftool --X:logToConsole=true --X:logLevel="verbose" --name=ovf-test --datastore=datastore-local-113 --network=VLAN-603 MVF-ver-2_OVF10.ova "vi://Administrator:**********@10.45.99.10/MitelDesignCenter/host/VLabCluster-03 (Intel G6, stand-alone)/10.45.12.113"

 

 

The verbose output looks like this:
