Unable to import VSAN OVF

sls · Fri May 01, 2020 10:53 pm

When try to import the VSAN OVF to vSphere host, it got a warning during the OVF package verification process. I can still continue the process but the import would fail and complaint the vmx file can not be loaded. The VSA won't be able to import. Any idea how to fix this trouble. I just downloaded the VSAN package about couple weeks ago. It should be the latest version. the vSphere is version 6.7.

Hello sls,

Pleae, try selecting only .vmx and .vmdk files while exporting.

Hi,

Just add bare minimum: vmx, vmdk, and nvram.
That happens to ESXi sometimes. Here is the KB on possible fixes https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/67724.
