Use VMware converter to import into vCenter 4

VMware vCenter Converter: P2V Virtual Machine Converter | United States

Hello

From wat i understand this converter is for .vnx file and e.t.c but not for ovf file

[crawfordm]

Try this - https://cloud.skytap.com/docs/index.php/How_to_Convert_VM_Images_Using_VMware_Converter to convert the OVF, then use VMware Converter to import to vCenter 4
