OVF Validation Fail

[barnette08]

I am attempting to deploy a vApp for a customer into their catalog and getting a bit of an odd error.

Has anyone seen this one before?

Operation: Processed descriptor of Virtual Application Template.

Error: Validation failed for the OVF file you provided: Invalid argument '', should be empty.
Invalid argument '', should be empty.
Invalid argument '', should be empty.
Invalid argument '', should be empty.
Invalid argument '', should be empty..

Thanks in advance.

can you run it through OVF tool to validate the structure?  alternatively, you can extract the OVF (it's a tar archive of files) and look at the configuration files for some random null entry.

Over the weekend one of our teammates on this project compared a known good ovf to the one we were having issues with.  He took out the <Property ovf:key="vCenter_IP" ovf:type="string" vmw:qualifiers="VimIp(&quot;&quot;)"> references to vCenter and this resolved the issue.  Thanks Jon for the pointer.
