What is OVF and OVA format?

Open Virtualization Format (OVF) is an open standard used to package and distribute virtual appliances or VMs. OVF is a standard, with hypervisors from VMware, RHEL virtualization and Virtual Box, supporting it.

An Open Virtualization Application/Appliance (OVA) file is a single file that archives all the files that make up an OVF. An OVA is a .tar file of all the files that make up an OVF package into a single .ova file

I have a question. In this scenario you are using a management laptop and saving the OVA directly to the laptop hard drive or external drive. Say for example, I wanted to connect an external drive directly to the ESXi server/hypervisor and save the OVA there. How could I go about doing that?

[shachamslonim]

thanks on the video . Do you know if for import can Ova that locate on the DataStore of the esx?

[sashonb]

I was wondering, i was exporting a VM, but it failed and created a .tmp file in the destination, if i were to export again to the same location, would it use existing data from the .tmp file or start completely over?

[sbihrbc]

[omaroe]

When running the CMD as administrator on a Windows Server 2008 R2 it doesn't show anything after running the import command. It's doesn't give an error, but it also doesn't ask for credentials. What am i doing wrong?

[fjjnqxf]

Tell me, please, during the creation of the OVF file, where is the tempfile saved? I noticed that during the export, a file size of 0 KB is created in the destination folder. since the VM takes a lot of space, I need to understand this. thanks!
