Hello,
Ive exported an OVA of a server we had made on OVIRT and Im trying to import it to VMware.
Its complaining that the ovf:format is incorrect.
ovf:format="http://www.gnome.org/~markmc/qcow-image-format.html"
That link doesnt resolve to anywhere because it appears its now
http://people.gnome.org/~markmc/qcow-image-format.html
But I dont know whats supposed to go there nor have I been able to locate anything to help
solve this issue. All I really need is access to the files in the, what I assume is, vdmk
file that comes along with the ovf file, which mine is called:
154b3d77-d340-4d24-a448-66265c5fb613
So if anything, is there a way to open this vm disk so I can gain access to the files?
Thanks

OVF file is just a tar archive with disks and XML descriptor. So untar the OVF
file should work.
Thanks

I believe you are partially right? Originally it was an OVA file. I
uncompressed the file which gave me another file and the vm.ovf. The OVF
file appears to be only an xml file? Or are you saying I can also
uncompressed the ovf file as well like I did the OVA?

Does VMware accept the QCOW format? Don't you need to convert it to VMDK?

Not sure, but I'll see if I can make time today to figure out how to
convert it.

yes, OVA is tar archive of OVF directory (see e.g. [1]) and OVF is again tar

Ok then, could there be something wrong with my ova backup because the ovf
is only 19kb and the other "file" is 3.8G? When I try to untar the ovf it
says it doesn't look like a tar file.

The 3.8G file is your disk image. The OVF file is XML.
The error seems to be that vmware does not recognize the disk type.
The xml being 19k doesn't seem wrong at all (although it does sound a
little big).

Correct, because in the xml it's saying the format is a link to a we
address that technically doesn't exist.
So perhaps I just need to find a way to convert the disk to vmdk then

Hello,
Ive exported an OVA of a server we had made on OVIRT and Im trying to import it to
VMware. Its complaining that the ovf:format is incorrect.
OVF/OVA is not really a fixed standard, every project is using it differently and it’s not
compatible between each other that well. oVirt’s OVF are just for oVirt, same as VMware’s
OVFs are just for VMware. Some can be converted with more or less issues…
ovf:format="http://www.gnome.org/~markmc/qcow-image-format.html"
That link doesnt resolve to anywhere because it appears its now
http://people.gnome.org/~markmc/qcow-image-format.html
But I dont know whats supposed to go there nor have I been able to locate anything to
help solve this issue. All I really need is access to the files in the, what I assume is,
vdmk file that comes along with the ovf file, which mine is called:
154b3d77-d340-4d24-a448-66265c5fb613
So if anything, is there a way to open this vm disk so I can gain access to the files?
vmware cannot read qcow2 dissk, you need to convert them to vmdk
Even then it’s not necessarily going to work as oVirt and VMware are using different
virtual hardware, so if you want to boot from there it likely won’t work.
take a look at some conversion tools rather than direct import. E.g. for the other
direction from vmware to ovirt you can use virt-v2v
Thanks,
michal
Thanks
