Hi,

I am getting below error while depoying a OVF template. Please suggest.

Failed to Deploy:Unable to access file: server1.vmdk.
The process cannot access the file "fullpath of vmdkfile\server1.vmdk' because it is being used by another process.

Hi,

Am trying to export an ova from a VM using ovftool.  Something along the lines of...

ovftool --prop:Version=100 --privateKey=./id_rsa.pem --eula@=./eula.txt vi://root:mypass@myserver.mydomain.com/myVM ./myOVA.ova

Everything looks good except that I haven't been able to define the 'Product', 'Version' and 'Vendor'  that appears in the initial dialog when customers deploy the template into a running ESX / vCenter instance.

Assume this must be a v common question but have not found how this might be done from the ovftool user guide (http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/ovf/ovf301/ovftool-301-userguide.pdf) or the VMware communities.  Closest I've found is http://communities.vmware.com/thread/328504 which indicates that defining a vCenter vApp allow configurable properties to be set.

Is there any way to define these parameters via ovftool?  If not, is there a way to hack the .ova manually to define them?

Thanks in advance,

Frank.

Hi

I am using a static OVF property of type 'password' in my virtual appliance.

Though we have an option to validate the password length using MinLength/Maxlength, I am not sure how to do more complex/custom validations.

For instance, is it possible to validate based on custom criteria such as following?

- Enforce at least one numeric or alphabet

- Allow certain special characters but not others

Are there any other ways this could be achieved?

Thanks

Installed ovftool 3.5 on CentOS 5.9.  Install went without any errors, says Installation Successful.

Running ovftool yields about 5 errors similar to:

/usr/lib/vmware-ovftool/ovftool.bin: /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9' not found (required by /usr/lib/vmware-ovftool/libvmomi.so)

CentOS 5.9 doesn't support GLIBC 3.4.

The ovftool documentation says it supports CentOS 5 and 6.

What's the problem here?

Hi , there !

i got problem when i deploy a .ova file , when the process of deploying is around 98 99 % an error comes say u can't go any farther !!!

Ps : i can't deploy my ova file with deploy OVF Template... in Esx and neither with ovatool !!
any idea ?

We found ovftool fails to deploy a vApp instance, within which 12VMs are to be created, from an ova file, while it succeeds if the ova file contains a slimmer version ovf file (VMs' no is decreased to 8). The host where ovftool runs is in the same LAN with VCenter server so network is probably not a problem. Besides, it also succeeds to deploy the package.ova file using VSphere Client GUI.

ovftool --X:logToConsole --noSSLVerify --name=DBaaS-fail --vmFolder=BuildValidation --powerOffTarget --overwrite '--net:VMNetwork=VLAN138' --datastore=store1800-1 --diskMode=thin

--prop:BaseIP=ww.xx.yy.zz --prop:Netmask=255.255.255.128 --prop:Gateway=ww.xx.yy.253 '--prop:DNS_Servers=10.132.71.1 10.132.71.2' --acceptAllEulas --powerOn /mnt/DATA/release/XXXXX/ova-demo/package.ova vi://user:password@10.ab.cc.dd/vCHS-DBaaS/host/ALMA/Resources/BuildValidation

The progress bar indicating complete percentage never shows up for the 12VM-version's deployment. The verbose log shows that the upload never starts. Has anybody encountered this issue? And you'll be appreciated if you can give us a hand. And we are willing to provide our ova file to troubleshooting this issue.

Background

We generate an OVA file which contains multiple VMs. Every VM specified in the ovf file refers to either a Linux vmdk or a Win vmdk within the OVA file. With two vmdk files contained in the ova file, the file size is almost 3G. We used the above command to deploy an vApp instance, but it always fail.

The following are what we have tried.

- The machine to run ovftool always keeps in the same LAN as VCenter server. This ensures network low latency.

- We tried ovftool both with its linux's version and windows's version. Deploying the ova containing 12VMs, always fail; deploying the slimmer version with 8VMs, it works;

- The difference between 12VM and 8VM ovafiles are very simple: both has two vmdk files, file-size are almost the same(~3G). It's just the latter ovf file choose to generate small number of homogenous VMs.

The verbose logs are attached below.

Hello Friend,


I need to come up with Java script where all sort of events and alarms that get generated in vCenter can be tracked off. 


Is there a powerful document or link , which describes in detail how to work out?


Thanks in Advance !!!


Thanks,


Asif

I have an esxi 4.1 server that we are decommissioning as part of a move.  We've decided to archive some of the VMs that were part of a test bed, in case we need to revive them later.  I've been copying the VMs directly to a USB hard drive on my Mac with ovftool, but I've found that about half of the testbed VMs cannot be copied.  Here is an example of a failure:

wpeters$ ovftool vi://root@zeus.dvt.tachyon.net/Riverbed/VSH_markt /Volumes/Archive/VSH_markt.ova

And a success, on another VM:

Does anyone have any suggestions of what to look for?  I've started and stopped these VMs from the console, so I'm certain the storage is still available, etc.


Thanks!

Using a seperate process (python-vm-builder), I am building an ESX/ESXi compliant image that I have confirmed can be uploaded, imported and started in Workstation, ESX 3.0, ESXi 3.5 and even Server 2.0+.

I'm trying to go into the next step now, and convert this ESXi Image into a single OVF archive for even easier deployments.

Using the latest OVF Tool I have successfully created the new .ovf and zipped it up inside a tar.gz'd.  On my Windows box, I then extract it (using WinRAR), then using 'Import' in VIC try to import it.  When I select the OVF and click next it then throws the below error:

An error occurred while parsing the OVF descriptor

Unable to parse XML element 'Envelope'

What am I doing wrong? 

I have attached both the original VMX and the new OVF.

Please help!

Thank you.

Hi,

I am deploying a VM using a OVA format. The  size of OVA format is 60 GB. Currently free space on my datastore is 388 GB.

At the time of selecting Disk Format type if shows me in red that the disk size required is 1 TB therefore you cannot select THICK provisioning.

Therefore, i selected THIN provisiong. It THIN provisioing i am showed that Estimated Disk Usage is 112 GB which is less than the free space available.

But even after selecting THIN proviosing at the time of deployment it throws an error that it cannot create disk as the size of disk is larger than the maximum specified limit. 

My block size is of 1 MB.

I give; I have spent too long attempting to find the magic decoder ring to get ovftool to do what I expect to be a very basic use case.

My vCenter server is win2k8 R2 node, my host node is RHEL6.3, and my guest in this case is CentOS6.3.

The vCenter server FQDN is vsphere2.foo.com.

The ESX host is las13.foo.com.

The guest is qavm1.foo.com

The Datacenter name is screwy, but appears to be passable with URI character replacements.  The name is "Foo / Bar Network" so I have been using "Foo %2f Bar Network" and quoting any URL string to deal with the spaces.

Examining the Datacenter layout in vCenter client, the path to the vm from which I want to create an OVA is

Foo / Bar Network/QA Guy/las13.foo.com/qavm1

attempting to use ovftool from either the Win2k8 server or my RHEL6.4 development machine results in the same errors.  I have perturbed the syntax of options and paths in so many ways I don't want to list them all here, but the end result is always an incorrect reference or missing object.

Might I grovel for the proper syntax to store a VM guest as an OVA?

Yes...I have devoured the manual mutiple times over...RTFM is my first tenet

Thank you all!

(Easy) Question… Regarding the use of global configuration file (ovftool.cfg) and local configuration file with OVFTOOL.

Syntax is given only for comments and parameters which are name-value pairs, e.g. datastore=DATASTORE-NAME. 

For a single parameter without a corresponding value, e.g. –acceptAllEulas, should these parameters be expressly set to TRUE?

Or can they simply be present (no equals sign)?  Both styles seem to work properly for --acceptAllEulas option.

Example:  which of the following CFG files shows the expected syntax?   Or are both acceptable?

acceptAllEulas=true

disableVerification=true

quiet=true

datastore=S123D0001

ipAllocationPolicy=fixed

or

acceptAllEulas

disableVerification

quiet

datastore=S123D0001

ipAllocationPolicy=fixed

(Yeah, I know - this question probably is a gimme.    Just curious if there's anything to trip over here. ) 

=cjs

Message was edited by: cjstaples-emc -- sorry, original formatting garbage

Is there a document anywhere that outlines the format that the OVFTool expects the OVF file to be in?

Such as: elements that ovfTool expects?

I have some OVF sources that are .9 and 1.0 compliant however, ovfTool does not 'like' them because the OVF is not written the exact same way as an ovfTool produced OVF of the same VM.  The VMware vmx setting, the resources subtypes are not there for example.  As these are VMware specific and optional.

Any guidance is greatly helpful.

Thanks!

When I try to import an OVF vile created with ovftool 1.0 I get a compatibility error

an error occurred while parsing the ovf descriptor:

unable to parse xlm element ‘Envelope'

I made an ovf file using ovftool 1.0 from a virtual machine I was running on an ESX 3.5 server.

The tool created the file with no problems and when I run the following command I get no error:

ovftool --schemaValidate x:\OVF\clone.ovf

Opening OVF source: x:\OVF\clone.ovf

What is the difference between OVF 1.0 and 0.9 version? I would be interested in knowing about the major enchancements made in the newer versions and thereby the advantages of the same.

Thanks in advance

I converted a Virtual Machine installed on a ESX 3.5 server to a virtual

appliance (*.ovf ) file using the OVFTOOL1.0.Now I am trying to

convert this virtual appliance to deploy as a virtual machine on a

different ESX server using same converter 4.0.1 and it is not working.

I get following error

Error: Failed to clone disk C:\Documents and

Settings\*\Desktop\*\viso.vmdk on the virtual machine 'viso'.

If I try

importing the same virtual appliance viso.ovf file with VMware Infrastructure client 2.5 I get

the following error "An

error occured while parsing the OVF descriptor: Unable to parse xml element 'Envelop'"

Please suggest what might be wrong. I am stuck and need help. I will need to make the VM from OVF file with Any UI Deployer

Thanks,

Lachi

I've downloaded the recent version of ovftool (VMware-OvfTool-1.0.0-117388.i386.tar.gz) to use it on VMWare ESX 3.5 server

It shows the following error in CLI:

[root@vmserver ovftool]# ./ovftool
./ovftool: line 29: ./ovftool.bin: cannot execute binary file
[root@vmserver ovftool]# uname -a
Linux vmserver.local 2.4.21-57.ELvmnix #1 Wed Oct 15 19:00:05 PDT 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Unfortunately we can not use version for windows.

Has someone any solution?

I followed the ovftool 1.0 user's guide to try to import an OVF 1.0 image into an ESX 3.5 server, the ovftool command I ran is like below:

C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware OVF Tool>ovftool.exe -ds="vitestbox3:storage1" "c:\temp\ovf\WebSphere_V7.ovf" "vi://root:xxxxxx@vitestbox3.rtp.raleigh

Warning:

Then I didn't change anything and ran the above command again in the same command line window, but this time, I got a different result:

C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware OVF Tool>ovftool.exe -ds="vitestbox3:storage1" "c:\temp\ovf\WebSphere_V7.ovf" "vi://root:xxxxxxt@vitestbox3.rtp.raleigh

Disk Transfer Failed

Error: Target disk not found

Deleting VM: WebSphere_V7

On the ESX server side, I saw it tried to create a VM, but removed it immediately due to a failure. I am not sure if I need to specify other options in the command, or I need to change something in .ovf file. It would be appreciated if someone can give me some advices/suggestions. Thanks.

Is there a way to map network devices that are both associated with "VM Network" in the ova to different networks on the target?  The ova contains only "VM Network", but I would like to put one interface on "NET_A" and one on "NET_B".

i am using ovftool (verisn 2.01), and i have got some error  as below, anyone ever met these? SOS
