FAQ
Error: Fault cause: vim.fault.InvalidState
ovftool failing? blame vmware
convert ova to vmx
ovftool foo.ova foo.vmx
Will probably throw something like " - Line 25: Unsupported hardware family 'virtualbox-2.2'. Warning:
- Wrong file size specified in OVF descriptor for 'foo-disk001.vmdk' (specified: -1, actual 24349902848).
" In that case try
ovtool --lax foo.ova foo.vmx
