OVFtool fails to read the vmdk file

I'm currently building TIME by using OVFtool. I copied all the files from VM (vmx vmxf, vmsd, nvram, vmdk) required for the establishment of the OVF on my Linux machine. Now when I try to run OVFtool, he throws "ERROR: can't open the drive: test.vmdk.

I used the command: ' * ovftool /root/test/test.vmx/root/testovf / '.

These folders created on my linux machine.

Question: Is it always necessary to run ovftool against VM Server?

Is the process that I'm doing wrong. IE: copy all the files on the local linux machine, then run ovftool?

Please advice.

Hi Kumvi,

It is safer to export the virtual machine directly from the server, if you are sure that all required files are present. But it should be possible to work this way too long that you copied all the files, in particular records. Make sure you have all the files on your Linux.

In your command line, you specify the name of the destination OVF file.

It will be useful.

Concerning

Franck

    You can ignore the text which says that it is for network installations and also ignore the text informing Windows/Microsoft Update If a single update of a PC.

    It is an executable file (.exe) that must just run and install, i.e., it is not an iso file that will be used to create a CD which included the executable.

    Just like the iso file, it can be saved to a Flash DRIVE on another PC before running on the PC to update.

  • Failed to read the WSDL file in GOSA

    Hi all
    IAM trying to record the process BPEL on GOSA, but it gives me error saying unable to find the WSDL error.
    When I test the Web Service directly from the Web Page, it loads the WSDL on the Test Page.
    But the moment that the wsdl is wrapped with virtualized wsdl, it gives the following error

    Cannot read the WSDL for http://192.168.190.47:9700 / Cnoyau/TestGateway/services/SID0003003? WSDL:WSDL not found

    According to the document troubleshooting, this error can occur for 2 reasons
    1. If the door is not properly registered on the Gateway.properties file.
    2. If there is proxy or firewall problem.

    Given that the Service is local to the same server I don't see any problem of firewall or proxy and I checked the gateway properties file where the ID of the gateway is register. I see this ID on file.


    Does someone can tell what could be the problem?

    I try to install Firefox 25.0 on a XP - SP3 machine and receive the error "failed to read the Configuration file. Please contact your system administrator.

    Hi JasjitRehsia,

    I've seen some posts where it is perhaps due to an error on the hard disk. See the article after some troubleshooting:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/check-a-drive-for-errors

    I hope this helps!

  • Error copying file or folder: cannot read the source file or disk.

    My problem occurs when you try to copy on the same computer I am on (or to a remote drive).  I get one of these messages in the dialog "error copying file or folder.

    box:

    Impossible to copy 'Filename': data error (cyclic redundancy check).
    Impossible to copy 'Filename': cannot read the source file or disk.

    Hey Norton victim,

    (a) what is your operating system?
    (b) what program file you are not able to copy?

    As the files are copied, Windows verifies that the data that has been copied are the same as the source files. The cyclic redundancy check (CRC) error occurs when the copied data does not match the original.
     
    This could be down to a mistake of the DVD, the disc goes wrong and has failed to 'read' the file properly or the file was placed on a bad sector on your hard drive. (Could be just down to a scratch or some marks on the dvd, maybe clean it if necessary and try again).
     
    I would run a check disk (CHKDSK) against the drive to rule that, although lacking - you have another dvd player to try the disc again? If so, try the dvd in another drive, or even a completely different machine to try to pin-point the problem.
     
    At the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:
     
    Chkdsk /r
     
    Note: If bad sectors are detected when running check disk utility and attempt recovery of bad sectors is verified during the verification of the drive for errors, data in the bad sector can be lost as they tried to recover bad sectors.

  • Copy only the vmdk file to create a backup

    I'm totally new to VMware ESX 4, but decided to allows you to host a web server on Windows 2008 Server vm, after about two weeks of reading and the VMware ESX product testing. I have used other products virtual machine last year or so for other projects.

    Why not just copy the vmdk files to create backup vms? That is problem? I have not to perform the clone at the same time as any other vm used to create or created from the vmdk file copied. I tested with a NT4 Workstation vm, because the files are small and can be copied and moved quickly, and I didn't have problems.

    I use the Vsphere Client to copy the vmdk file to a folder at the root of the data store and then by creating a virtual machine, naming the vm the same as the folder.  I created a model of the virtual machine to w2008 use Vsphere standalone converter, but the vmdk copy is so much easier and faster that of re-run the converter again on the model should I need.

    I created a Windows Server 2008 virtual machine and want to test before installing Tomcat and MySQL. The operating system should get messed up, I thought that I could start over with just using the current vmdk file, I copied. Yet I don't trust using snapshots, etc. I have also created many Linux VM on the ESX Server for analysis of the use of Tomcat on them. I also have a XP Pro VM as an alternative to emergency. It is XP Pro on a computer that hosts the web site of Tomcat/MySQL production - slowly.

    Thank you

    Homerun

    Take a look at http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-8760 for a script that can automate Virtual Machine cloning. When you start a virtual machine that has been cloned ESXi will prompt you to "I copied it" or I moved it"etc. If it is a copy, you would respond with "I copied it" and ESXi change MAC, etc. of the UUID. The only required files are files VMDK and VMX file. Others will be re-created when the machine is added to the inventory.

    In regards to the tools, I would install them. It also includes drivers to allow the host ESXi communicate with VM for things like the soft stop etc.

    I use a relative path to my .pfx file to the transportServerCredential and the licenseServerCredential in the flashaccess - tenant.xml and my password was encoded using the Scrambler.bat.

    Also, when I check using the configuration http://< LicenseServer >: 8080/flashaccessserver/flashaccess/license/v2 I get the message "license server is configured properly."

    Any ideas why the Validator.bat cannot read the configuration file?

    Neil and may,

    I also used the evaluation of access version 4.0, and I got stuck in the same place you did.  I had two main symptoms.

    (1) the validator was not with the same error that you are experiencing.

    (2) later, while trying to acquire a license for playing packaged content, encrypted, the license acquisition failed, and the cause of the original error has also pointed out the Key Server parameter in flashaccess - tenant.xml.

    According to the documentation, the certificate server key (and in fact the key server itself) are supposed to will be necessary only when a policy calls for remote key service to clients of iOS.  But, I took a chance and added the .pem file in the sampletenants directory and made him the flashaccess - tenant.xml as follows:

    Configuration | Tenant | Certificates | KeyServer. File | path =

    The result was a successful validation of the configuration and the successful license acquisition and reading - and the key server is not even in the course of execution.  Apparently with 4.0 certificate is part of the minimum for the scanner configuration, even if the documentation says something quite different.

    Good luck, hope this helps.

    The files in the bookmarkbackups folder are currently in compressed format .jsonlz4 (i.e., they show data binary like a ZIP compressed archive) and cannot be easily unzipped for access the JSON text format.
    The files are compressed means that a single error in the file will make it impossible to unpack the file.

    Have you checked all the available JSON backup to see if everything works?

    A backup created manually JSON is always not compressed, so can be easily inspected or opened in a text editor (Notepad > "Pretty Print"), but with a compressed file, it is much more difficult.

    Recovery of a file via an undelete utility is no guarantee that the space occupied by the file has not been used by another file, and so is corrupt.
