Hello, I have been using VMWare for some time now, but new to this conversion tool and vCloud.
My current dilemma is getting a VMWare player VMX converted so I can upload it to vCloud. Seemed straightforward, but every time I convert it and then try to upload it to vCloud, I get
a virtual system in the ovf file being uploaded requires unrecognized virtual hardware version
I have other platforms to move from as well- I hope this forum will get me where I need to be with those instances, but this error doesn't show when I search the forum. I assume that either I need a switch in there when running ovftool, or you simply can't convert a Player file into an OVF. I am testing the stand-alone convertor, stepping the output file down to VMX-9 to see if this will help.
...I notice there are a lot of questions about getting from one platform and format to another.
Is there no chart somewhere with all of this info in it? That is, FROM platform on X axis, TO platform on Y axis, Yes/no/details/link to more info/etc in cells as appropriate? I was not able to find one.
Seems like we could use that... I have a very light team running the vCloud and they just aren't there for me with the conversion work I need to do- and that work is essentially all I need to do on the maintenance side of the fence. Plowing through all of the manuals and becoming an expert in what I need to do is also not an option...
