Versions:

ESXI: 7.0 Update 2 (build number 17867351)

VMware Workstation: 16.1.2 build-17966106

I exported a VM from QKVM (Qnap KVM) and been trying to import it into one of our ESXIs using vCenter, but to no avail. It imports successfully to a locally installed VMware Workstation, though.

The process I go through is (in vCenter, using Firefox): Right click on one of our ESXIs -> Deploy OVF Template -> I go through the wizard, I choose thin provisioning (it fails with Thick Provisioning all the same), I finish the wizard and the import tasks start just fine. But after a while they both fail.

Deploy OVF template task fails first around 60% with the following message: Operation timed out.

Import OVF package task goes for a little while after Deploy OVF template task fails but then it fails as well with the following message: Failed to deploy OVF package. ThrowableProxy.cause A general system error occurred: Transfer failed: Invalid response code: 500.

I also tried using ovftool to deploy the VM but it doesn't work either, below is cmd output:

C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware OVF Tool>ovftool -ds=datastore2-ea-i10-12 "D:\RPC\RPC.ovf" "vi://ea-i10-12.wssepoz.local/"

I experienced the same issue, exporting a VM from one VCenter to another one. What made the difference was to create a snapshot, before exporting the VM as an OVF. After that, I was successfully able to deploy the OVF at the other VCenter. Good Luck

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
