VMware GSD referred us to create a ticket with Dell which I've done. The ticket is ongoing. Internally, we determined so far that exporting with Dell addon for PowerEdge Servers running ESXi 7.0 U3 A07 and earlier is successful. However, when using A08 or the latest, A09, it fails with the same error. We suspect it has to do with a bad vib.

We haven't heard back from Dell Support after providing them with the vCenter logs.
