I have a VMX file that I am trying to import to Vsphere server and getting an error on the disk. I tried using the GUI Converter tool as a test, and it successfully imports. Here is my command:
C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware OVF Tool>ovftool --lax --X:logToConsole -ds=ES_DS_001 e:\bvw_win2k8\dr_win2k8.vmx vi://root@esxhost
And the output below. Any help in solving this issue would be GREATLY appreciated. The Original file came from Workstation 7. Trying to import to an ESX 4.1 host.
