This time there is no error on the import and the resources are automatically filled out via the OVF template.Īdditional Note Feb 2018 from Frank (comments below): You will end up with three files in your OVF directory and the OVF can be used for the import to ESXi. I created an OVF directory so that it didn’t overwrite any files during this process. Note you can choose not to use the quotations like in this example as long as there’s a space between source and destination. Once complete you will see both the original OVA and the two new VMX/VMDK files The above will convert from the OVA to the VMX in the same directory of C:.Initiate the executable in the format ovftool.exe “source file” “destination file” e.g.Navigate to cd C:\Program Files\Vmware\Vmware OVF Tool.Place your OVA somewhere easily accessible (C:) and open up elevated command prompt.A senior colleague saved my bacon by saying they’d had luck going from OVA to VMX then to OVF.Ĥ:5: PARSE_ERROR: Parse error: Unexpected character ‘.’ (code 58) (missing namespace prefix?) at. You can convert directly from OVA to OVF but we encountered the error below after doing this and importing to ESXi. Download VMware OVF Toolįor ISE 2.3 on to ESXi 6.5 I used OVF Tool version 4.2 As a workaround, use the VMware OVF tool to import the OVA templates. The ISE 2.3 OVA templates are not compatible with VMware web client for vCenter 6.5. To be fair this is partly documented by Cisco but it doesn’t clear much up on what to do next. OVF.ģ.5: ATTRIBUTE_REQUIRED: Attribute “id” is required.ģ.5: ATTRIBUTE_REQUIRED: Attribute “href” is required.ġ5.3: ATTRIBUTE_REQUIRED: Attribute “id” is required. The install file provided by Cisco needs to be converted to a different format in order to work with VMware i.e. Make sure you use separate folders to convert each step below or your VMDK file will get overwritten on the last step and ruin it. *Edit* – Can confirm this works for ISE 2.4 on ESXi 6.7 which I tested in my home lab.
Tl dr – Convert the OVA to VMX then convert that VMX to OVF.
We’ve just had quite the head scratcher trying to install the ISE 2.3 OVA on ESXi 6.5 and figured we won’t be the only ones.
