Hello,
I tried to import ovf file to vSphere 5.5 and ended with an error vmx-12 incompatible.
My VM was created with VMware Workstation 12.5 Pro.
Why this error?
Kind regards,
Roland
ESXi 5.5 supports up to hardware compatibility version 10. If the VM created is version 12 it won't be able to recognise/import it. Change the VM hardware compatibility to 10 in VMware Workstation and then import into ESXi 5.5.

Hi,
is this an ovf or an ova file? if it's ovf it should be straight forward. do the following:
1. make a backup copy of the ovf file
2. open the .ovf file with a text editor like notepad or notepad++
3. do a search for vmx and you should see something like <vssd:VirtualSystemType>vmx-07</vssd:VirtualSystemType>
4. change that to vmx-10
5. save the ovf and redeploy.

This did not work for me, it said immidiate after this that my file got corrupted. Seems like there is a hash code which was updated
