When I tried to use OVFTool 4.3 to import the OVA with an ISO attached that is on an HTTP server, it always failed with message: Error: File (Ubuntu-file1.iso) could not be found. This is my command: ovftool \ --X:logFile=/tmp/ovftool_503.log --X:logLevel=verbose --datastore="datastore1" \ --noSSLVerify --acceptAllEulas --name="UbuntuWithCd" --diskMode=thin \ "http://192.168.1.1:8000/vm/Ubuntu_with_cd.ova" \ "vi://root:Compaq123@192.168.1.2" Since the OVA is just a tar file, so I use `tar -tf` to check the file and it shows that the ISO file is ordered before the VMDK: $ tar -tf Ubuntu_with_cd.ova Ubuntu.ovf Ubuntu.mf Ubuntu-file1.iso Ubuntu-disk1.vmdk Also, based on the log, OVFTool seems to shows that it tries to download the VMDK first. So, I untar the original OVA and tar it again, with VMDK before ISO: $ tar -tf Ubuntu_with_cd_vmdk_before_iso.ova Ubuntu.ovf Ubuntu.mf Ubuntu-disk1.vmdk Ubuntu-file1.iso and then the import command succeeded. I think this is a bug?
