Deploying to OVF Fails - VCSA 6.5

[samcatoe]

Hi all,

I have been trying to deploy an OVF from a 6.5 environment. It fails every time at 33% with the following error stack

TypeError: Error #1009

at MethodInfo-1506()

at flash.utils::Timer/tick()

I tried different browsers with no luck. It's strange it stops at 33%, because it appears the OVF is actually the complete file. I am able to deploy from the file and it appears everything is there.

I tested it on a 6.5 vCenter server (not appliance) and had no issues. It was with the same VM. I deployed both and compared them and they seemed to be running exactly the same (minus VM version).

I could not find any helpful information online regarding this specific error. I see issues regarding deploying from OVF on the 6.0 appliance but not 6.5. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

Thank you!

Hi,

Thank you for the quick reply! The way I worded my original question was a bit confusing so let me clarify:

I am having an issue creating an OVF from a VM. I am getting this error while creating the template, not uploading. Thank you for the tool, it seems like it will be helpful if I am not able to deploy but if I understand correctly it is not used for creating OVF files.

Follow KB :- https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/52650 

Also you can add an extra parameter in web client properties file to increase the timeout . If the KB does not help let me know ; I will share the info about the parameter on webclient.
