OVF Configuration Parameters missing

[markdjones82]

All,

I am a little stumped by this, but essentially we are trying to create our own OVF because we need virtual hardware 10 instead of version 11 to use William Lam's script here:

Deploying Nested ESXi is even easier now with the ESXi Virtual Appliance | virtuallyGhetto

I have created a VM and added the properties for guest.info just like he has in the screenshots, but when I export the OVF it and try to use hte Get-OVFconfiguration it does not show those parameters.  Anyone have an idea?

PowerCLI C:\TEMP\esx> Get-OvfConfiguration .\esx.ovf

=========================
OvfConfiguration: esx.ovf

Properties:
———–
NetworkMapping

Did you check the content of the OVF file, that is an XML file.

And you can try William's (who else) method, to inject the desired properties.
