Upload Fusion VM to vSphere using OVF Tool

[SurferL]

So I was following this set of guidelinesL https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/99433/moving-fusion-vms-to-esxi to help move Fusion VMs to ESXi host, and saw an answer which uses the OVF Tool to do it in one line instead.

I have a Fusion created `test.vmwarevm`, which contains the `test.vmx` file within and other associated files, and following the OVF Tool guidelines, I can set the `test.vmx` file to be uploaded to the ESXi host with something along the lines of:

ovftool --compress=9 -ds=datastore1 --network=VM-Network test.vmx vi://ip-of-esxi/

And although the command succeeds, it takes around 1 second to upload 40GBs of vmdk files? So when I attempt to run the VM in the ESXi host, it fails...

Can anyone suggest something which I've done wrong or a better way of doing it?

Thanks for the response, but I am not trying to use the Fusion Library to do it, but using the OVF Tool instead.
