Hello,
I am new to OVFTool and am having difficulty using it in Terminal on my MacBook Pro to convert an OVA (created by exporting my WinXp virtual machine from within VirtualBox), to a VMX file for use in VMWare Fusion on my MacBook Pro.
I have installed the OVFTool on my boot drive (partition) which is named "LFP OS", in the folder: /Library/VMWare/OVFTool/.
I have the OVA file on my data drive (partition) which is named "LFP Data" in the folder: /Virtual Machines/WinXP.ova.
I want to create a virtual machine file (VMX) in the same location as the soure that I can then import into VMWare Fusion. I have gone through the OVFTool User Guide, forums, Google etc. and cannot get it to work properly. It may be as simple as my Terminal syntax being off. Anyway, please help.
Here is what I used in Terminal:
LFP-MacBook-Pro:virtual machines nils$
LFP-MacBook-Pro:virtual machines nils$ pwd
/volumes/lfp data/virtual machines
LFP-MacBook-Pro:virtual machines nils$ ./Volumes/LFP\ OS/Library/VMWare/OVFTool/ovftool /Volumes/LFP\ Data/Virtual\ Machines/WinXP.ova /Volumes/LFP\ Data/Virtual\ Machines/WinXP.vmx
-bash: ./Volumes/LFP OS/Library/VMWare/OVFTool/ovftool: No such file or directory
LFP-MacBook-Pro:virtual machines nils$
Thanks for your time!
Regards,
