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!!
