Deploying OVA - error Message

[jim_allan]

Hi

This is my first post so please bear with me....

I am trying to deploy a .OVA for VM Workspace 1.8 but i am getting an error that reads

" The OVF Package requires support for vApps with multiple VMs. Details: Line 14 : Unsupported element "virtualSystemCollection"

I get this when i click on File > Deploy in vSphere Client

Can some please advise what i am doing wrong

Many thanks

Hi there,

no worries everybody has to start one day and welcome to the community 

Just to exclude one potential issue, which versions of vCenter/ESXi are you using and what is your current vSphere licensing level ?

Do you have a vCenter server also ?

Cheers

Seb

thank you for the reply

I am getting another error message

i have tried to deploy via vCenterServer.. it allows me to deploy but at about 10% into it comes up " task was cancelled by user"

I am using ESXi 5.1 - vCentre 5.5.1 and deploying via vSphere Web Client - using FireFox

Can you give me any advise on what i might be doing wrong

thanks

Please make sure the OVA you downloaded is the right size. If the download failed and you got a partial ova, sometimes, you see weird errors on vcenter during deployment
