OVF Tool and export a VM.

[hack3rcon]

Hello,

I have a VM with the name "Ubuntu":

# esxcli vm process list

Ubuntu

   World ID: 3814140

   Process ID: 0

   VMX Cartel ID: 3814139

   UUID: 56 4d 32 a4 c6 05 63 82-98 fd 7f 3b 89 54 47 7c

   Display Name: Ubuntu

   Config File: /vmfs/volumes/5c026449-b6594f00-cf1c-1402ec0456ac/Ubuntu/Ubuntu.vmx

I want to export it via "OVF Tool" under Windows OS. I installed OVF Tool and used below syntax:

" C:\> ovftool --noSSLVerify vi://root:PASSWORD@IP/Ubuntu "Output".ova "

But not worked

Any idea?

Thanks.

Shutdown the VM first and than try again.

Hi,

this can help you:

Import and Export Virtual Machines from the command line with VMware's OVF Tool | VMwarebits.com

example: "ovftool --disableVerification  --noSSLVerify vi://root@esxi.yourdomain.com"

Otherwise you can export it from the Vcenter or ESXi -> Export OVF

The problem is that when I use web client then it can't download the ".vmdk" file:

It show me "Network error". How can I solve it?
