Hi Everyone,
I created an OVF package out of a linked-clone using the OVFTool (ver. 2.0.0). The linked-clone was created using the vmrun utility. I am able to successfully create the OVF Package (the output is a .ovf file, a .mf file, and a .vmdk file). I am now trying to open this OVF package with either Workstation or the WMware Player, but I am getting the following error:
What I want to understand is if there is something that could have gone wrong in the process of creating the OVF package, or the fact that it was created from a linked-clone, that is causing this error, or if this error is simply due to the fact that OVF pacakges cannot be opened "as is" with Workstation or the Player. If the latter is the reason, why do I have an option to select OVF packages as a file type from the Open Virtual Machine Dialog?
Thanks to anyone with a few words of advice!
