Hi,
I exported a VM from my ESXi 4.0.0 server using ovftool for Windows but the type of NIC seems to have been changed as part of the conversion. It was VMXNET3 on the host but ends up being VMXNET in the OVF.
The export was done as follows..
ovftool --eula@=c:\MyEULA --powerOffSource vi://root:password@esxi4_host/MyVapp d:\dev\vapps\
Snippet from the original .vmx
ethernet0.virtualDev = "vmxnet3"
Snippet from the .ovf that was generated
<VirtualHardwareSection> ...snip.. <Item> <rasd:AddressOnParent>7</rasd:AddressOnParent> <rasd:AutomaticAllocation>true</rasd:AutomaticAllocation> <rasd:Connection>VM Network</rasd:Connection> <rasd:Description>VmxNet ethernet adapter on "VM Network"</rasd:Description> <rasd:ElementName>ethernet0</rasd:ElementName> <rasd:InstanceID>6</rasd:InstanceID> <rasd:ResourceSubType>VmxNet</rasd:ResourceSubType> <rasd:ResourceType>10</rasd:ResourceType> ...snip.. </VirtualHardwareSection>
Is this a known issue ? Any workarounds ?
