I exported in the vCenter client 6.5 a virtual machine (400 Gb OS: W10) to ovf file on a Windows disk
I tried to import this ovf file in workstation 12 and workstation 14. Both give an "unknown error.
I tried it again with another virtual machine (less than 200 Gb and OS XP) this one has no problems.
How can I import the VM in the WS12/14?
may be ovf corrupted. can you share ovftool.log file ?
Is the log file automatically created?
If yes, where is it located on a W10 system?
If no, how to create a log file
it should be under your user folder, appdata\local\temp
check this below article to see if that helps you
Using OVF is just one way to acchieve this - IMHO one of the more unreliable ones.
Did you try to download the full directory of the VM directly ?
This should be usable with Workstation - there maybe small issues but we can fix those easily.
I tried to download the files one by one from the vCenter client. This does not work at all.
log files did not give any hint. no warnings/errors that i can see from vmware and ovftool log. Did you try convert using ovftool and then importing into workstation ?
yes i have used ovftool and after that u was intended to import it in WS, but it cwas canceled before.
On about 75% of executing the ovftool it gave the "unknown error"
