Deploy OVF template failed when trying to deploy a VM from 4G template

[wuarthur]

Hi,

Has anyone encountered this issue when deploying VMs before, in vSphere it was able to connect to the physical hosts and get metric no problem. But deploying VM using existing template results in a failure to connect to the host

Failed to deploy OVF package. ThrowableProxy.cause A general system error occurred: Transfer failed: Error during transfer of ds:///vmfs/volumes/60d0b767-0ab53a5c-2320-bc97e1ac51a2//134/134.vmdk: Cannot connect to host..

Are you trying to deploy the template as OVA or OVF?

VMware recommends to extract the OVA for large deployments as there are limits according to the browser you use.
