I'm importing an OVF appliance into vCenter 4.0 using the VI API (vijava to be specific).

I'm calling the importVApp method to get a HttpNfcLease, which gives me a HttpNfcLeaseInfo, and a list of HttpNfcLeaseDeviceUrl objects.

Question is:

What determines the format of the HttpNfcLeaseDeviceUrl's importKey property? Based on the OVF file described below, the importKey is being set to the value "/ImportTest1/VirtualLsiLogicController0:4". I understand how "/TestExport1" is generated, but I am not sure how "/VirtualLsiLogicController0:4" is derived. I would have expected it to be named after the OVF's diskId property.

I'm free to modify the OVF, so if there's anything I need to set on the Harddisk elements, that'd be fine as well.

Thanks!

Mike
