Following instruction How-To's OVF
Posted: Thu Nov 07, 2019 2:58 am
Hello:
I am following instructions How-To's video Installing eve-ng on ESXi OVA. I downloaded the Eve Community OVA; however, the file extension resulted in OVF. I do understand the difference between OVA and OVF. I am on MAC and do not have a vSphere Client desktop version. I am using the web interface instead. In ESXi 6.0.0 Web interface, I click on Create/Register VM > Deploy a virtual machine from an OVF or OVA file > Selected a newly downloaded OVF > Next and there is an error " You need to select a VMDK". The VMDK is already part of the OVF file, isn't it? What do I do? I renamed the file extension from OVF to OVA, the installation went through. I started the machine but it sits there with the flash page and does nothing. Please advise
