CD-ROM can not be connected

Hi all,

I am trying to convert a iso to ova file through VMWare XML (SDK/API) which is working fine with ESXI 5.0 and ovftool 2.0.0 but not working with ESXI 6.5 and ovftool 4.3.0 , we have tried with ovftool 2.0.0 on esxi 6.5 and it has failed.

Note :

We are getting error as CD-ROM not able to connect

Warning: Failed to connect remote device (CDROM and Floppy)

Failure: Encountered a fatal build error!

Can anyone please help me resolve this issue.

Thanks in advance

Basically it is failing when it is trying to install guest OS on a transit VM , I believe it is looking to mount the iso file but is failing

Perhaps you should ask in the Open Virtualization Format Tool forum
