Hello,
I created a virtual machine in virtualbox which I then exported to OVA format using the export.
In VMWare player I then opened the OVA file. The VM opened, I was able to start the virtual machine and test it. All is working correctly.
I now wanted to export the VMWare virtual machine to a OVF format using the ovftool.
I run the ovftool providing the source and target, the ovftool is throwing a "Failed to open file" error no matter which source I provide. It is very frustrating since even in the verbose log there is no indication about which file the program is failing to find.
The verbose log is not very long so I will post it below.
What am I missing??
