I am trying to convent a vmx within vCenter server to a local vmx, i am trying with:

 

ovftool.exe "vi://user:password@my_vCenterserver/may_datacenter?ds=[my_datastore] my_vm/my_vm.vmx" C:\ovfs\my_vm.vmx

 

as the tool user guide Page 35, session "Converting a VM on ESXi or vCenter to an OVF" introduces.

 

But I got prompt as:

 

Opening VI source: vi://my_vCenterserver:443/

Error: Datacenter object not found

Completed with errors

 

 

But, i am sure the my_datacenter is INDEED exists.

 

Any suggestions what should i do?

 

 

Additional:

 

I even can NOT probe my VMX like this:

 

ovftool.exe vi://user:password@my_vCenterserver/my_datacenter/my_vm/my_vm.vmx

 

with Error:

 

Error: Locator does not refer to an object: vi://user:password@my_vCenterserver/my_datacenter/my_vm/my_vm.vmx

 

But I am very sure 'my_vmx' locates indeed there.
