Hello ,
I used the vcenter 4.1 console to Export OVF Template. We need to be able to load this template in vmware player. I downloaded ovftool and tried to convert the OVF template so that it could be run in Vmware player.
This is the command I am issuing to convert the template based off of the OVFTOOL PDF. This, to my understanding should convert the OVF to a VMX and drop it in the D:\vms folder. There are 4 disks in this VM server
Input
C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware OVF Tool>ovftool -tt=vmx D:\server_name\server_name.ovf D:\vms\
Output:
Opening OVF source: D:\server\server.ovf
The manifest validates
Opening VMX target: D:\vms\
Warning:
- Target does not support CPU validation.
Error:
-
Completed with errors
Needless to say the VMS folder is getting created but nothing else is being converted.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
DS
Thanks for your quick reply. The log file is attached.
could you try to remove this from the OVF by adding "<!--" before and "-->" after the CpuCompatibilitySection. It should look like:
<!-- <vmw:CpuCompatibilitySection>
then delete the *.mf file and retry.

Commenting the section out caused the "invalid token" error.
make a backup of the .ovf
Delete the CpuCompatibilitySection section instead
run sha1sum on the .ovf file
Update the .mf file to have the correct checksum value for the line that has the ovf.
Then run the ovtool and it should work.
thanx, work for me on Mac Lion
Thank you very much (MrDuggan), your remedy worked for us as well (on 64bit Linux)
