How to run the VM of Workstation9 on ESXi5

[johnabraham]

Hi guys

I have installed RHEL5.6 in a VM on Workstation 9 & want to run that VM on ESXi5.

on workstation9 I tried to Export to OVF... & after that on ESXi5 i tried to Deploy OVF Templet... but it is giving me error:

so what sould i do to run that VM on ESXi5, or any other way to do this? any suggestion would be pleasure.

thanks

Virtual Hardware version 9 is only supported by ESXi 5.1. The easiest way to fix this is to downgrade the virtual compatibility mode for the VM in VMware Workstation before you export the VM to an OVF.
