what is the syntax to import a ovf file into a esxi host?
I keep getting an error when using this
ovftool d:\ovf\vm.ovf vi://user:pass@my_esxi_host
the manifest validates
What's the error message you get (please post the complete output for the command). "The manifest validates" only means that the .mf file is ok.
Btw. do you have special characters in the username/password?

the ovf file is on a d drive
so I am trying to import it from the d drive into the esxi server on a datastore named datastore1
ovftool d:\vm.ovf vi://root:password@10.180.0.7<mailto:root%3Apassword@10.180.0.7>
yes the password has a "!" in it
i tried removing the "!" in the password but still the same.
I guess there was something with the install.
I reinstalled it and works now. thanks
ok now I am getting this error
The manifest validates
Opening VI target: vi://root@10.180.0.7:443/<http://root@10.180.0.7:443/>
Error: Failed to communicate with VI server
