Hi,

I am trying to deploy OVA/OVF in vcenter but it says cannot open the file error:

Do I need OVA or OVF file? Is my path wrong?

Both OVA and OVF files are supported.

For OVF, make sure all the other files that got exported are also available in the same folder as the OVF file.

OVA is just a zipped version of the OVF.

Try to also import this OVF using the vCenter client to see that it doesn't have any issues.

I tried it with different OVF but it shows the same error. But its dosen't take OVA.
