if you are adding a device I assume that you need to generate a new GUID for
it (or it will use a null one 0000:0000:000... and you will get primary key
violation on the second device).
if its not the case so maybe Eli can help,
Eli do you know why Alex is getting the pk_vm_device?
in any way can you post the OVF?
