  • 1.  When exporting an OVF an ISO file is created?

    Posted Aug 22, 2018 01:56 PM

    Hi All,

    Im trying to export an OVF from a Windows 2016 server to send out to one of our other data centers. Never having to do this before the process seems to be pretty simple since Im not a stranger to vCenter.

    But before we send it out we naturally want to test it by adding it to the local library in our local vCenter 6.5. But when I go to add it to the library its asking for an ISO file. Cant find it anywhere. As you can see from one of the captures its a very simple export so I dont understand is where this ISO file that apparently is created is or what its purpose is. None of the documentation I can find make any sort of reference to this. What am I doing wrong?

    Do you have an ISO file attached to this VM in your inventory?
