Deploying OVF template stucks

[eddilimp]

Hi all,

I recently upgraded our vCenter to 6.7 and also some of our Hosts to ESXi 6.7. Now I wanted to deploy an OVF template of the Teradici Management console 3.1.2 and the Tasks "Import OVF package" and "deploy OVF template" are stucking at 0% for over 12 hours. I already restarted the vCenter and the issue still persists. What can be the error?

Hi eddilimp​,

Can you try to connect to a ESXi host directly and deploy the OVF template from there to see if that works.

I just tried that but when I come to the Point to choose the Network, I can't choose a Network. The Dropdown menu doesn't work.

[RickVerstegen]

Which browser do you use? Can you try it with chrome/firefox?

[eddilimp]

I tried IE 11, Chrome and Firefox.

You can try to use PowerCLI to import the OVF as well.

You can use the cmdlet Import-vApp. See:

Import-VApp

When I click on your link, I get:

You don't have permission to access "http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/windowstoolkit/wintk40u1/html/Import-VApp.html" on this server.

Try this one:

VMware vSphere 5.1

Should also work for 6.7.

It's now in the PowerShell gallery. Install-Module VMware.PowerCLI

[eddilimp]

With PowerCLI it worked. Thanks.

VMware Support told me that this function doesn't work in the HTML5 Client. I should use powerCLI oder the Flash Client. But Flash Client is not working at me at all.

[daphnissov]

If your Flex client isn't working for deploying an OVF, then that's something you can fix.

[eddilimp]

The Flex Client isn't working at all. With no browser (IE, Firefox, Chrome). After Login I only can see a loading circle.

You may have a broken plug-in causing it to barf when loading. The web client log would show more. Or just open a new SR with VMware.
