I'm trying to convert an VirtualBox OVF that we had prepared to use in a ESX environment, but am recieving errors.  First off, I just want to make sure we are able to do this and secondly if anyone is able to help me resolve the errors.

 

 

Initiall I received the following errors.  This is trying to do a conversion directly on the ovf I was given.

 

E:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop>ovftool debian-server-32bit.ovf debian-s
erver-32bit.vmx
Opening OVF source: debian-server-32bit.ovf
Warning: No manifest file
Opening VMX target: debian-server-32bit.vmx
Error:
- Line 8: Unsupported value 'http://www.vmware.com/specifications/vmdk.html#spa
rse' for attribute 'format' on element 'Disk'.
- Line 37: Unsupported element 'Description'
- Line 45: Unsupported element 'Description'

- Line 109: Unsupported element 'Description'
- Line 112: Unsupported element 'AutomaticAllocation'
- Line 113: Unsupported element 'Parent'
- Line 114: Unsupported element 'AddressOnParent'

 

After this I tried importing into VirtualBox and then exporting will checking the use Legacy OVF setting.  Which resulted in the following error:

 

E:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents>ovftool "Debian Server (32bit).ovf"
ian-server-32bit.vmx
Opening OVF source: Debian Server (32bit).ovf
Opening VMX target: ian-server-32bit.vmx
Error:
- Line 82: OVF hardware element 'ResourceType' with instance ID '7': No support
for the virtual hardware device type '35'.
