Hi

As this error is thrown from vCenter it seems something is wrong with configuration.

To verify, Kindly confirm Are you able to deploy any other VM (apart from vRNI VM) in same vCenter and ESXi using vRSLCM ?

Please make sure you have proper privileges:

Assign a User Role in vCenter Server

Also check if you are able to manually deploy this VRNI on same VC and esxi ?

Based on reaserch It Looks like this is fixed in LCM 2.1 and higher versions.

The issue is related to changesrelated to OVF. Latest vCenter Server 6.7 has more strict ovf parser to enforce duplicate elements. This issue is applicable when deployment is done using automation (vRSLCM, ovftool) and not manually. For now, my recommendation would be to perform a manual deploy and import.

Release notes may be getting update sooner.
