When I try to export one of my VMs using File/Export/Export OVF Template....it crashes vSphere with a nice assertion window.
To see what the cause of this is, I decided to try using ovftool 2.1.0 on Linux to export the VM instead, to see what happens (like does it crash ovftool?).
I got stuck though because when I log into the vCenter I have to specify a domain\username format and I can't figure out how to pass this to ovftool in a way that doesn't cause errors.
For example, I tried things like this:
# ovftool vi://myvcenter.domain.com/DataCenterName/vm/
Username: MYDOMAIN\Administrator
Password: whatever
Didn't work, I don't think it likes the backslash.
So I tried stuffing it in a variable:
# DF="MYDOMAIN\Administrator"
# ovftool vi://"$DF"@myvcenter.domain.com/DataCenterName/vm/
Error: Curl error: Couldn't connect to server
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
CJ
