Trying to install OVF Tracks Jumpbox to ESXi but fails

Hi.

I've tried several things to get my Tracks Jumpbox to our new ESXi 4 Server with no luck. Had been using Tracks on VM Server and it has always worked great. When I try to use the converter to move the installation to our ESXi, it completes but won't open the Jumpbox. We have tried several times using the powered on machine, the files, the VMX, etc.

I then tried a new download of a OVF Tracks. Used the VM Converter, but the converter errors out with: FAILED: Unable to verify the OVF manifest file due to mismatched file hashes.

Can anyone help?

Thanks!

Trying to install OVF Tracks Jumpbox to ESXi but fails

The only known issue we have is this one:

http://wiki.jumpbox.com/doc/virtualization/esx_ovf_error

Its related older ESX versions not handling the newer OVF formats. The error you report is new to me. I would suggest downloading a new, different JumpBox, and see if it works with that, just for comparison sake.

Though a permission error like you reported in your second post just doesn't sound right. Its sounding more like VMware issues. Have you loaded _ANY_ OVFs successfully?

Using VM Converter - Trying conversion on running machine

VM Converter fails when running the converter on the live machine. States: The user Admin does not have root privileges.

UGhh... I don't see where I can change that. Any advice?

Thanks!
