ImportVapp upload floppy file：File exists, but overwrite was not requested

yaoyao2020 — Fri, 29 Jan 2021 09:00:38 GMT

I'm trying to import an ovf template to a vsan storage，the ovf contains a vmdk disk file and a floppy file.

Using the returned device url from httpNfcLease, such as https://*/nfc/529fd5cb-757a-1f48-9704-fe503fc23531/disk-0.vmdk,

I used https post to upolad vmdk file successfully.

But when I trying to use https put upload the floppy file, exeception occurs. The floppy device url is https://*/nfc/529fd5cb-757a-1f48-9704-fe503fc23531/disk-1.flp .

The reason for the error is 'File exists, but overwrite was not requested'. Indeed,The default floppy file _deviceImage-0.flp is generated on the virtual machine's storage path.

When I deleted the floppy file, the upload was successful.

But How can I automatically overwrite the original file when I upload it?

Is there any http header that will meet my needs?

any help would be much appreciated
