Can import ovf but can't import self packaged ova
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I have generated a vmdk file and exported an ovf from vmware Workstation.
When I import the ovf file in VMware Workstation, I can start the machine, everything works.
Problem comes when I try to package it into an ova.
tar cvf my-file.ova my-file.ovf my-file.vmdk
(I know there's an optional step to use a mf file and I tried with it too, I got the same result.)
Then, when trying to import this ova, I first get:
The import failed because /home/david/Documents/virtualbox/my-file.ova
did not pass OVF specification conformance or virtual hardware compliance checks.
I press retry and finally obtain:
Error importing OVF: Disk (my-file.vmdk) could not be found
I double checked the ovf but I don't believe anything is wrong with it, it looks like there's a bug coming from the packaging step or if this can't work, I don't get why.
Setup:
- Ubuntu 16.04
- VMware® Workstation 15 Pro
