Ovftool Download 4.2
Export ovf to a specified location
I want to export an existing vm known as siem, note that the vm name is case sensitive so Siem is not the same as siem.
During the extraction I encountered a weird problem:
it says file not found, however I have verified that the spelling and the case of the word of the vm is the same, siem definitely exists.
The problem is that ovftool is trying to find the iso in the datastore apart from the vm i was trying to export, the virtual cd room of siem was set to datastore iso, so in order to fix this I need to change back to the Host device.
After i changed from “Datastore ISO file” to “Host device” I can continue to export.
