Hi, Suppose I have a VM "vm1" with 3 disks "[datastore2] k1/k1.vmdk",   "[datastore2] k1/k1new.vmdk"  and "[datastore2] k1/k1up.vmdk". I can't identify the correct disk, If I import this VM to my local system using "ovftool". Output of "ovftool" command : ovftool vi://root:vmware123@192.168.1.26?moref=vim.VirtualMachine:109 . k1-disk1.vmdk k1-disk2.vmdk k1-disk3.vmdk k1.mf k1.ovf See, "ovftool" renamed the disks to "k1-disk1.vmdk", "k1-disk2.vmdk" and "k1-disk1.vmdk". Have any way to keep the name of the disk ?? Have any way to specify the name for the disk in the "ovftool"  ??? Thanks,

Hi, I manually copied a vmdk file from local system to datastore, then edited *.vmx file of existing VM and changed name vmdk file to my coped file.

Hi, I tried "ovfManager" with "importVApp", but that doesn't have the option to download ovf to client/local machine. My requirements are follows ----------------------------------------- a) Create a connection to VMware/VCenter Server b) Download ovf of a VM to different server using any one of the file trasfer protocol. I could do it using "ovftool", But I am looking for similar functionality in vmware sdk . Thanks,
