Have a virtual machine that I attempted to move from virtualbox into vcenter. I get the below error that leads me to believe it does not like the disk type that virtualbox was using.
Attempting to import to vcenter gives the following error:
Issues detected with selected template. Details: - 53:7:VALUE_ILLEGAL: Value ''PIIX4'' of ResourceSubType element not found in []. - 62:7:VALUE_ILLEGAL: Value ''PIIX4'' of ResourceSubType element not found in []. - 98:7:VALUE_ILLEGAL: Value ''5'' of Parent element does not refer to a ref of type DiskControllerReference. - 108:7:VALUE_ILLEGAL: Value ''5'' of Parent element does not refer to a ref of type DiskControllerReference.
In my ovf, I have the following for the disks:
<Item>
<rasd:Address>1</rasd:Address>
<rasd:Caption>ideController1</rasd:Caption>
<rasd:Description>IDE Controller</rasd:Description>
<rasd:ElementName>ideController1</rasd:ElementName>
<rasd:InstanceID>4</rasd:InstanceID>
<rasd:ResourceSubType>PIIX4</rasd:ResourceSubType>
<rasd:ResourceType>5</rasd:ResourceType>
</Item>
<Item>
<rasd:Address>0</rasd:Address>
<rasd:Caption>sataController0</rasd:Caption>
<rasd:Description>SATA Controller</rasd:Description>
<rasd:ElementName>sataController0</rasd:ElementName>
<rasd:InstanceID>5</rasd:InstanceID>
<rasd:ResourceSubType>AHCI</rasd:ResourceSubType>
<rasd:ResourceType>20</rasd:ResourceType>
</Item>
Any thoughts on how to get this mapped correctly to work in vsphere? vmware documentation made it seem like its as simple as exporting from virtualbox then importing into vcenter.
I tried to manually create a VM and attach the harddisks as well. This fails and gives the following error:
"Unsupported or invalid disk type 22 for sata0:1. Unable to create virtual SCSI device for sata0:1 (/vmfs/path).
Exported it from virtualbox in both version 1 and 2.
Without seeing your vmx-file all we can do is guess ... probably you have a bad syntax for the lines that reference the path to the vmdks ?
Attach vmx-file and vmdk descriptorfiles to your reply.
