Opening OVA source: /Users/Me/Downloads/Įnter login information for target vi://10.10.10.40/
net:"VM will prompt for the password as it deploys, which should look something like this when it succeeds: At least 80GB free disk space on the datastore.
Deploying the appliance directly on an ESXi host is not supported. You deploy the vSphere Integrated Containers appliance on a vCenter Server instance. Here is a more complete example if thats not what you need: vSphere Integrated Containers Appliance Requirements. Ovftool -datastore= assumes you have VMware port groups named "Cluster Network" and "VM Network" already created, and will produce a thick provisioned VM named "vsim-esx-DOT9.1-cm". Choose an applicable package from the drop-down menu. On the Downloads page, click Download Package for OVA in the On-Prem Hosts section. The basic syntax to deploy the Simulator on a standalone ESX host is: To deploy OVA via VMware 6.5.0, complete the following: Log in to the Cloud Services Portal. Ovftool is included in VMware Fusion and VMware Workstation, or you can download a standalone version from VMware. To get around this, you can use the ovftool from VMware to import the OVA successfully. In older versions I would fall back to the thick client, but there is another way: ovftool Due to changes in VMware vSphere on single host setups, it is not possible to import certain OVA images if they use compressed disks, as is the case with the new Platform-9.1.ova image. That sounds like something I could fix, but ultimately other problems come up and the host client OVA importer cannot deploy the vsim ova. Please consider using OVFTool or vCenter Server to deploy this VM. Is currently not able to deploy VMs that contain compressed disk images. The VM you are trying to deploy contains compressed disk images. When I go to deploy the 9.1 OVA on a standalone 6.5.0d ESXi host (5310538), it gives me an error about compressed vmdk images in the ova:
