import .ovf into VMware Fusion

[RoyHochstenbach]

I have a Virtual Machine that consist of an .ovf file, an .mf file and a .vmdk file. I want to import it into VMware Fusion but I don't know how.

I've installed the OVF tool, but when I want to convert the .ovf file, I get the following error message:

ovftool -tt=vmx /Users/royhochstenbach/vpc/\[OVFAppliances.com\]-Android-2.6.29.OVF-VMDK/Android.ovf Android.vmx

Opening OVF source: /Users/royhochstenbach/vpc/[http://OVFAppliances.com|http://OVFAppliances.com]-Android-2.6.29.OVF-VMDK/Android.ovf

Opening VMX target: Android.vmx

Error: OVF Package is not supported by target:

- Line 86: OVF hardware element 'ResourceType' with instance ID '7': No support for the virtual hardware device type '35'.

When I just enter ovftool android.ovf it says Operation Completed, but I can't find a compatible output file anywhere.

I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.4.

From page 21 of the OVF Tool User Guide

Convert an OVF to a VMX

To convert an OVF package to a file in VMware format, type a command like the following:

> ovftool http://www.mycompany.com/ovflib/BigDemo.ovf x:/myvms/BigDemo.vmx

Because the source is an OVF package, you can specify it as a URL or a local file path.

If you convert an OVF package to a VMX file without specifying the target directory, OVF Tool creates a directory using the OVF package name and writes the VMX file in it.

> ovftool "Windows 7.ovf" . TheVMXfileiswrittenatWindows 7/Windows 7.vmx.

To me, it looks like you're trying to import an Android image into VMware Fusion. I don't think that's supported.
