OVF deployment failed: Invalid configuration for device '7'.

[MPTorg]

Hello!

I am using VMware ESXi, 5.5.0 3248547, vCenter Server 5.5.0 7874785 and vSphere Web client.

When I try to deploy VSphere Data Protection OVA file (version 6.1.8 or 6.1.7, no difference), I get an error

OVF deployment failed: Invalid configuration for device '7'.

I have tried to extract OVA file and:

1. change hardware version from vmx-07 to vmx-10 - no result,
2. remove CD/DVD section - no result,
3. remove IDE 1 (IDE Controller, InstanceID 7) - the error changed to OVF deployment failed: Invalid configuration for device '6'.

Could anyone explain me what the problem is and how can I solve it?

Try to download OVA again or use VM Deployer 2.1

Could not run VM Deployer because it requires internet access when it starts.

Disabling DRS before OVA deployment helped to get around the problem.
