ovftool : Specify Hardware version during a conversion ?

[jbdenis]

Hi everybody,


I'd like to change the hardware version during an export using ovftool. Is there a way to specify it ?
I've seen the "--maxVirtualHardwareVersion" but I'm unable to understand how to use it. I can't find any documentation on the supported syntax anywhere.


Any advice ?

./ovftool --maxVirtualHardwareVersion=08 "/Users/cman/Documents/ABC.vmx"  "/Users/cman/Documents/VM/ABC.ovf" worked for me.
