OVFT: unable to export with spaces (in path) on se...

James13d · ‎05-23-2013

Hi All,

I'm unable to get ovftool to export a vm from my server that has spaces in the path to the vmx file.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

On the server:

~ # vim-cmd vmsvc/getallvms

Vmid Name File Guest OS Version Annotation

112 ar-vm [sata3] har_vm/har_vm.vmx rhel5_64Guest vmx-07

16 eluefin [sata1] eluefin/eluefin.vmx rhel4_64Guest vmx-07

32 igloo (RH5) [sata0] igloo (RH5)/igloo (RH5).vmx rhel5_64Guest vmx-07

When I try to export "igloo (RH5)":

C:\OVF_Tool>ovftool.exe --compress=9 --X:logToConsole "vi://root:doublesecret@hoo.lgc.com/ha-datacenter?ds=[sata0] igloo (RH5)/igloo (RH5).vmx" F:\igloo
