Migrate Virtual Machine From vCloud to ESXi 6.5 Standard

This is the question that I want to know, I actually want to migrate the vm from vcloud to esxi 6.5 standard. I have do some following activity :
1.  Download OVA VM with vAPP Template on the vCloud
2. Import the OVA VM in the ESXi 6.5 standard.

But actually the ESXi 6.5 standard doesn't support the element 'virtualsystemcollection'. I had no any idea how to solve this problem. Please tell me some solution, I would really appreciated.

Hey @AbdulAzizM,

This is happening because you are trying to export the vApp completely and import it to a standalone ESXi. The vApp feature only exists in vCenter Server, having said that if you do not have this ESXi connected to vCenter, it is going to fail.

For importing the VM into the standalone ESXi you will need to export each VM individually as an OVF template and import it one by one by first unregistering from vCloud without deleting the VM.
