No Manifest File Found Ovftool
manifest" msully Mar 18, 2014 10:49 AM I'm trying to create an OVA file from an installed VM. If I the ovf manifest file is not in the proper format try creating it with ovftool 3.5, it downloads everything completely then gives me the following error:SHA1 digest of file https://172.31.68.10:443/ha-nfc/52cca89a-6cde-c7a7-0810-25ff2197d3d6/disk-1.iso does not match manifestand then deletes the file(s) it generated.I am using no manifest entry found for ovftool compress=0 and --noImageFiles so i don't get the install iso.If I manually go into Edit Settings and remove the cdrom, then 3.5 creates the ova correctly.If I use ovftool 2.0, it succeeds even without manually removing the cdrom iso.I've seen posts where users get the same error I do when they are going ova/f to vm and the answer is to delete the manifest. Since all
Ovftool Command Line Examples
of the files are deleted after the error message, I don't have the option to delete the locally created manifest.Is there a way to keep the files around even after a manifest error?Does anyone know why ovftool 3.5 would fail in this case and 2.0 would word? Has there been some deprecation between the two of them?Thanks,Mike 3226Views Tags: none (add) This content has been marked as final. Show 2 replies 1. Re: ovftool VM->ova/f fails with SHA1 digest of file . . . disk.iso does not match manifest" GonenG Oct 29, 2014 12:17 PM (in response to msully) Was able to go around this problem in ovftool v3.5.2 by adding the flag '--skipManifestCheck'which does create a manifest file, but does not check its validity, for example:ovftool --machineOutput --overwrite --compress=9 --noImageFiles --skipManifestCheck --targetType=OVA ...It looks like a bug: The manifest-checking part of the tool is not aware of the fact that the ISO was left out,tries to validate its key, and fails because the ISO is not there at all...Cheers Like Show 2 Likes (2) Actions 2.

on 01/25/2012 by William Lam While browsing the VMTN forums the other day, I just learned that you can sign your own OVF files using VMware's ovftool. To sign your OVF files, you will need the .ovf, .vmdk deploy ovf from datastore files and an X.509 certificate. Though not mandatory, you should also have a manifest ovftool the manifest does not validate file that includes a hash of the files to be signed. ovftool will still allow you to sign the OVF files, but
The Signature Of The Ovf Package Does Not Match Its Content
a warning will be thrown if the manifest file is not included. If you export a virtual machine/vApp using the vSphere Client or the ovftool, the manifest file is automatically generated for you and it ends https://communities.vmware.com/thread/473672?start=0&tstart=0 with .mf extension. If you have some OVF files that you want to sign but do not have the manifest file or somehow lost it, it is actually quite easy to re-create using the openssl utility. To create the manifest file, run the following command for all files to be signed: openssl sha1 *.vmdk *.ovf > MyVM.mf You can use cat utility to view the contents of the manifest file: To sign http://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2012/01/how-to-create-manifest-file-for-ovf.html your OVF files, run the following command which will include the path to your X.509 certificate and the new signed OVF name: ovftool --privateKey=ghetto.pem MyVM.ovf MyVM-Signed.ovf Note: There is no space between --privateKey= and the path to X.509 certifcate, else you may get an odd error message. If the signing was successful, you should not see any errors: To view the newly signed OVF files, you can run the following command: ovftool MyVM-Signed.ovf You will find that the OVF has been signed under the "Manifest Info" section: Now when you import the OVF back into your environment using either the vSphere Client or ovftool, you should now see the certificate information: For more details and examples of using the ovftool, take a look at the user guide here.

on 07/01/2014 by William Lam I recently had a need to deploy an OVA using ovftool on a Windows desktop and I ran into the following error: Error: Could not lookup host: http://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2014/07/quick-tip-handy-ovftool-4-0-advanced-options.html root Since the environment I was deploying to did not have DNS, the failed hostname lookup was expected. This was pretty annoying with previous releases of ovftool but it looks like with the http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/windows-and-office/how-do-i-convert-virtualbox-files-to-work-with-vmware-workstation/ latest 4.0 version, there is a new advanced option called --X:disableHostnameResolve that would allow you to disable this check. Using the new version of ovftool and the advanced option, I was able to does not bypass the check and deploy the OVA. One really useful advanced option found in the latest version of ovftool 4.0 is --X:injectOvfEnv which I have already written about here, To get the complete list of ovftool advanced options, you just need to specify --help integration option. To download ovftool 4.0, you will need to either install the 2014 Tech Preview of VMware Workstation or Fusion. Here is does not match an example of running this on Windows system: C:\Users\wlam\Desktop>"C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Workstation\OVFTool\ovftool.exe" --help integration OVF Advanced Options Description --X:apiVersion Specify what vim api version to use. This applies to both source and destination --X:binaryOvaSize Force file entries in OVA file headers to be written in binary format instead of the standard octal format. --X:connectionReconnectCount Specifies how many times a reconnectshould be attempted when resuming up/downloads on broken connections. --X:connectionReconnectDelay Specifies the delay in milliseconds between attempts at reconnecting on lost connections. --X:connectionReconnectDelayDouble Double the delay between attempts at reconnecting on lost connections if a reconnect fails --X:connectionRetryCount Specifies how many times up/downloads should be resumed on broken connections. --X:defaultSslCiphers Use the default OpenSSL cipher suite for https connections. --X:disableHostnameResolve Disable ovftool hostname resolve for windows. --X:enableHiddenProperties Enable source properties that are marked as ovf:userConfigurable=false OVF Tool will set the value to true. The default is false --X:forceDnsName Use the domain name given in the locator instead of resolving it to an IP address. --X:forceVi2 Force source and/or target to be treated as VI2. --X:guest Sets a guestinfo.

In this How do I, Jack Wallen walks you through the steps required to migrate a VirtualBox virtual machine file to a VMWare Workstation. By Jack Wallen | in Windows and Office, September 2, 2010, 1:35 AM PST RSS Comments Facebook Linkedin Twitter More Email Print Reddit Delicious Digg Pinterest Stumbleupon Google Plus If you do any virtualization at all, you are probably familiar with either VirtualBox or VMWare. Chances are you've worked with both at one time or another. You might have started out with VirtualBox only to find yourself needing to migrate to the more corporate-friendly and powerful VMWare. In the attempt to migrate your virtual machines from VirtualBox to VMWare, you probably found yourself suffering from a headache or two while trying to figure out just how to migrate all those already configured virtual machines from one to the other. That task probably had you giving up and reconstructing your virtual machines in VMWare. It doesn't have to be that way. You can actually migrate those virtual machines from VirtualBox to VMWare. It's not easy, but it can be done. One would think the process would be simple: export your virtual machine from VirtualBox to the standard .ovf format and then import the .ovf file into VMWare. The problem is that VirtualBox and VMWare do not stick to the same standards for the file format. So in order to get an .ovf VirtualBox file to import into VMWare, you will have to jump through a couple of hoops, which include having to manually modify that .ovf file by hand. In this How do I, I'll walk you through the steps required to migrate a VirtualBox .ovf file to VMWare Workstation. This blog post is also available in PDF format in a TechRepublic do
