The error had me troubleshooting for a couple of hours. Every solution which I tried finished with the same error which couldn’t find ISO file named deviceImage. Then I extract the OVA file with “7zip” on windows.
If you check your OVF file, you ‘ll observe these lines;
<Item ovf:required=”false”> <rasd:AddressOnParent>0</rasd:AddressOnParent> <rasd:AutomaticAllocation>false</rasd:AutomaticAllocation> <rasd:ElementName>CD/DVD drive 1</rasd:ElementName> <rasd:InstanceID>8</rasd:InstanceID> <rasd:Parent>4</rasd:Parent> <rasd:ResourceSubType>vmware.cdrom.iso</rasd:ResourceSubType> <rasd:ResourceType>15</rasd:ResourceType> </Item>
The problem when you import OVF file, It’ll check vmware.cdrom.iso and it fails couldn’t find ISO.
I’ll describe how to fix this problem step by step;
Step 1:Uncompress OVA file using TAR or 7zip in windows
Step 2:Locate your OVF file directory which contains the configuration of the VM to deploy.
Step 3:Open <your_ovf_name>.ovf file and replace this line.
Original:
<rasd:ResourceSubType>vmware.cdrom.iso</rasd:ResourceSubType>
Replace “vmware.cdrom.iso” to “vmware.cdrom.remotepassthrough”
Last State:
<rasd:ResourceSubType>vmware.cdrom.remotepassthrough</rasd:ResourceSubType>
Step 4:Save the ovf file and copy it under a linux server.
I used linux server to create a manifest file but you can use online site to create SHA1.
For Linux ;
# sha1sum test.ovf da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709 test.ovf Copy “da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709” and edit MF file which located under your OVF configuration folder.
Step 4: Open <your_ovf_name>.mf and edit first SHA1 lines which belongs to the OVF configuration file.
SHA1(PCI-DSS-RedHat-Server_Template_Last.ovf)= da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709
SHA1(PCI-DSS-RedHat-Server_Template_Last-disk1.vmdk)= 264b91281b3adf4a6d6c584ed028d740facabc70
SHA1(PCI-DSS-RedHat-Server_Template_Last-disk2.vmdk)= 30040949162b4c9f3e9bc0352adfff578963184b
