Just tried it in my lab on 6.7u1 - deployed not a problem, will check it in my U2 lab when it boots. Did you select the 3 files , .mf, .ovf and .vmdk in the wizard?

I am also getting the same error with UI while uploading an OVA (3.5GB Size).

The same OAV deployed via cli 'ovftools' and the VM working fine.

I see both are using firefox - can you try a different browser as a test?

after updating the ESXi Embedded Host Client I was able to import OVF images via the UI

Keep in mind that you might see this bug ESXi Embedded Host Client - Bugs​ it goes away after a few restarts of the host Smiley Happy

I've only tried with one OVA.  I was able to successfully import that OVA in VMware Workstation, so I believe the OVA is good.

Got the same problem. I decided through Firefox. When an error occurs, click Esc. The error disappears, the finish button is available.OVA import succeeded.

6.7.0 Update 2 (Build 13006603)

Same problem and tried Chrome and Firefox and when I hit ESC the entire screen simply disappears and have to start the upload all over again. Haven't been able to upload OVF backups.

OVF import only worked for me using OVFTool. I can't find any KB information on this issue. Is VMware is looking at this bug issue?

Is there any resolution for this issue? I am using 6.7.2 and having exactly the same issue. I also tried different browsers with no success.

Interestingly i had issue with exporitng the VM as well. It was downloading all files except *.mf file. I managed to fix the export issue using Mozilla browser. However no success in importing OVF template.

We also ran into this issue with 6.7U2. If you upgrade the embedded host to the version on the following page, the error is fixed (it seems like a downgrade):

https://labs.vmware.com/flings/esxi-embedded-host-client

Upload the vib into the datastore and install it with the following command

[root@ESXI~] esxcli software vib install -v /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/esxui-signed-12086396.vib

Installation Result
