I am trying to deploy OVA directly on ESXi, but it is getting failed with error
completed with errors
Access denied
I am using root account of ESXi and this ESXi is managed / has distributed switch. I have vSphere 6.7 and ESXi 6.7, ovftool 4.3 32 bit.
Please let me know, what am i missing here
There might be a few reasons.
For example, when you specify a target folder, is that a folder that exists on the ESXi node?
If it is a folder you defined in the vCenter, it will not exist on the ESXi node.
You could add verbose logging to the ovftool command (--X:logFile=ovftool-log.txt --X:logLevel=verbose).
Perhaps that would give more info on the error.

Thanks for the Reply
May i know where this logs gets stored? I checked in program location.
I got new error now
Access to resource setting one the host is restricted to the server that is managing it : "vcenter IP"
i checked.. their is no separate folder under ESXi other than created by virtual center. Any suggestions?
In the directory from where you run the ovftool command.
So if your current directory is C:\Scripts, the logfile should be in that folder.

That is probably due to the distributed switch.
