Products:
VMWare ESXI: 7.0 Update 2 (build number 17867351)
VMware Workstation: 16.1.2 build-17966106
I exported a VM from Qnap KVM, and attempting to import it on an ESXI host using vCenter fails.
The process is: in vCenter, using Firefox, Right click on one of our ESXIs -> Deploy OVF Template -> go through the wizard, choose thin provisioning (it fails with Thick Provisioning), I finish the wizard and the import tasks start just fine. But after 20 minutes they both fail.
Deploy OVF template task fails first around 60% after 20 minutes with "operation timed out":
Import OVF package task goes for a little while after Deploy OVF template task fails, but then fails with "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:
ovftool -ds=datastore2-ea-i10-12 "D:\RPC\RPC.ovf" "vi://ab-a10-12.network.local/"
