I am using ESXI 4 and I have a VM what I want to export to OVF every week or two. I am trying to use ovf tools and write a script to make this easier. No matter what I do, I always get the error "locator does not refer to an object".
My setup is ESXI 4.
VM Name is: SUGARCRM
Datastore path is: [datastore1]/debian/debian.vmx
According the to the instructions, the following should work, but they do not work for me. What is the correct command syntax?
ovftool.exe vi://root:mypassword@192.168.1.60/ha-datacenter/?ds=[datastore1]/debian/debian.vmx c:\vm\sugarcrm.ovf
Error: Locator does not refer to an object
ovftool.exe vi://root:mypassword@192.168.1.60/ha-datacenter/vm/debian/debian c:\vm\sugarcrm.ovf
Error: Locator does not refer to an object
ovftool.exe vi://root:mypassword@192.168.1.60/ha-datacenter/vm/debian/SUGARCRM c:\vm\sugarcrm.ovf
Error: Locator does not refer to an object
ovftool.exe vi://root:mypassword@192.168.1.60/ha-datacenter/SUGARCRM c:\vm\sugarcrm.ovf
