Hi,
I have tried for several days now to export a VM from ESXI 6.5 server both by using OVFtool and from web browser.
The export fails at about 12% when using ovftool and i have attached the ovftool log.
For browser export it fails and the error message displayed is "Failed - Network error"
Any ideas for why the export fails?
