Hi,

I am trying to deploy an. ova file using ovftool with the following command :

"=standard_trunk --net:"VM Network 2"=standard_trunk -n=g1 <<MYOVA.ova>> vi://username:password@<IPaddr>
Opening OVA source: vwlc.ova
The manifest validates
Opening VI target: vi://root@10.50.16.36:443/
Deploying to VI: vi://root@10.50.16.36:443/
Progress: 59%

Removing temporary objects and files

Transfer Failed

Error: Execution aborted

Error: Operation was canceled

Completed with errors

And it aborts with the above error.

Can anyone help me out.

I had the same issue and managed to import the OVF by adding  --X:injectOvfEnv --powerOn options

Hope it helps!

If you're still having the issue you could ask ovftool to log to a file so more details as to why the error is coming out would be seen.  add --X:logFile=transferissue.log  --X:logLevel=trivia before locator and run again.  The log file should show what went wrong with the transfer and reason.  You can post some portions at least showing the error code or exception information which would allow others to help diagnose the issue you're having.  

Transfer failures happen for many reasons and its hard to say without the log file.
