I have VMware Player 5.0.0. It internally has ovftool 3.0.1
I used VMware Studio2.0 to build an appliance in OVA format - It opened successfully by Player 5.0
Converted OVA -> OVF again from OVF->OVA using ovftool 3.0.1. (This is just for testing. Later I need to change OVF according to my need).
Now this re-generated OVA file is not supported by Player5.0. When I tried to open OVA file, Player failed with error 'Failed to open virtual machine: Failed to open OVF descriptor.'
Is this an issue with OVFTool or Player ? Please suggest.
BTW, I have used the below commands for convertion
OVA -> OVF ovftool.exe -st=OVA -tt=OVF "d:\NEW-OVA\xxxxxxx.ova" "d:\NEW-OVF\xxxxxxx.OVF"
OVF -> OVA ovftool.exe -st=OVF -tt=OVA "d:\NEW-OVF\xxxxxxx.ovf" "d:\NEW-OVA\xxxxxxx.OVA"
Without -st, -tt options, ovftool is assuming the VMX format.
Thanks in advance
