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:
<vcenter>/<datacenter>/vm/Build Server/sles11-sp1-x8664/yoshi
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
OVF version: 1.0
VirtualApp: false
Name: yoshi
Download Size: Unknown
Deployment Sizes:
Flat disks: 80.00 GB
Sparse disks: Unknown
Networks:
Name: CVO VM Network
Description: The CVO VM Network network
Virtual Hardware:
Family: vmx-07
Disk Types: SCSI-lsilogic
[root@r2d2 bin]# ovftool vi://<user>:<password>@helios.blue.roguewave.com/Corvallis/vm/Build\ Server/sles11-sp1-x8664/yoshi vi://<user>:<password>@helios.blue.roguewave.com/Corvallis/vm/templates/ovf-templates/yoshi.ovf

Error: Locator does not refer to an object: vi://bluoma@helios.blue.roguewave.com:443/Corvallis/vm/templates/ovf-templates/yoshi.ovf
Completed with errors
Can someone help identify the correct target locator?
I have also tried the following host path:
[root@r2d2 bin]# ovftool vi://<user>:<password>@helios.blue.roguewave.com/Corvallis/vm/Build\ Server/sles11-sp1-x8664/yoshi vi://<user>:<password>@helios.blue.roguewave.com/Corvallis/host/R\&D
