Hi,
When trying to export an ovf template, iso or vmdk files download and the process gets stuck at 25%
Also unable to select OVA (only option available is OVF)
Environment is :
VCentre :Version 6.5.0 Build 4602587
ESXi: VMware ESXi, 6.5.0, 4564106
Any help will be really appreciated
Not sure why you can't export the template as OVF, but with release of vCenter 6.5, there is no longer support to export to OVA according with the release notes: VMware vSphere 6.5 Release Notes
vSphere Web Client does not support exporting virtual machines or vApps as OVA templates
In versions earlier than vSphere 6.5, you could export virtual machines and vApps as an OVA template on the vSphere Web Client. This functionality is not available in vSphere 6.5.
Workaround: Export the virtual machine as an OVF template, and then create an OVA template from the OVF template files. The following procedure describes this process using the Linux an Mac commands. Windows systems require installation of a TAR capable utility.
Perhaps there there any other tasks or dialogue boxes pending?
Also, are you using the server appliance? And did you upgrade it from 5.1? Because if so this KB (https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=21480...) says that it's a known issue and you'll have to use the command line. It links the OVF tool here (https://www.vmware.com/support/developer/ovf/).
There is another thread on this issue here (https://communities.vmware.com/thread/551756), at the end of which they also recommend using the OVF tool.
Regardless of the details, that tool is worth a shot if you're stuck.
There isn't any other pending task, the only tasks running (when exporting OVF) are
Export OVF Template - gets stuck at 25%
Export OVF package - gets stuck at 25%
Didn't upgrade VCSA, it is a fresh installation
Error message is: An internal error occured - Error #1009 (I believe it is Flash error)
Reloading the client is recommended, so as to clear any problems left by this error
I will try OVFTool, will update you with results
Thanks so much for help:)
