[Bug 1898871] Re: change the future OVA(s) to have default VM hardware version 13(ESXi 6.5)
Hi John Chittum, > Does VMWare provide guidance on editing OVF files outside of booting an > image, making a change, and exporting? I try the following steps and it works. 1) extract ubuntu-impish-21.10-cloudimg.ova, we will see three files ubuntu-impish-21.10-cloudimg.ovf, ubuntu-impish-21.10-cloudimg.mf and ubuntu-impish-21.10-cloudimg.vmdk 2) edit file ubuntu-impish-21.10-cloudimg.ovf and change "true" to "false" for the element serial0 as described in #5 3) produce the SHA256 for modified file ubuntu-impish-21.10-cloudimg.ovf with the command shasum -a 256 ubuntu-impish-21.10-cloudimg.ovf 4) edit file ubuntu-impish-21.10-cloudimg.mf to update the SHA256 value of file ubuntu-impish-21.10-cloudimg.ovf 5) repack ubuntu-impish-21.10-cloudimg.ova with the command: tar cf ubuntu-impish-21.10-cloudimg.ova ubuntu-impish-21.10-cloudimg.ovf ubuntu-impish-21.10-cloudimg.mf ubuntu-impish-21.10-cloudimg.vmdk 6) (optional) deploy the repacked ubuntu-impish-21.10-cloudimg.ova in ESXi and I don't hit previous warning message when VM is powered on.

Thank you for providing more information. Is it possible to find out what sections of the OVF to change without having to boot an image in vsphere? It'd be wonderful to have documentation of generally available configurations and descriptions. I check the primary source document, but it's difficult to use to answer questions such as "how do I make a serial console not available automatically" https://www.dmtf.org/sites/default/files/standards/documents/DSP0243_2.1.1.pdf Does VMWare provide guidance on editing OVF files outside of booting an image, making a change, and exporting? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1898871 Title: change the future OVA(s) to have default VM hardware version 13(ESXi 6.5) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-images/+bug/1898871/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi jchittum, > John Chittum (jchittum) wrote on 2021-11-04: #5 It can fix the issue by changing "true" to "false" Steps: 1) deploy ubuntu-21.10-server-cloudimg-amd64.ova in ESXi 2) edit VM setting to uncheck the checkbox "Connected at PowerOn". 3) export the VM as OVF template 4) find false when check .ovf file. (Note: with the upper same steps, I also try to check/uncheck the checkbox "CD/DVD Drive 1"/"Network adapter 1" and then export as OVF template. I find the only difference of file .ovf is that item "rasd:AutomaticAllocation" is changed to true/false.)

vmware-gos-Yuhua : what is the corresponding ovf template entry for Connected At Power On? We generate all builds in a chroot, with a templated OVF, so we need to identify the exact stanza. What we have now is: https://git.launchpad.net/livecd-rootfs/tree/live-build/ubuntu- cpc/hooks.d/base/ovf/ubuntu-ova-v1-vmdk.tmpl#n87 true serial0 4 vmware.serialport.device 21 Generally speaking, is there a place to look up all the possible values? I keep going to https://www.dmtf.org/sites/default/files/standards/documents/DSP0243_2.1.1.pdf but that doesn't include a full list of the things that'd full under type options, nor what values may be possible (such as vmware.serialport.device). Could you help by pointing to a resource? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1898871 Title: change the future OVA(s) to have default VM hardware version 13(ESXi 6.5) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-images/+bug/1898871/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi jchittum, "Serial Port 1" is added with ubuntu-21.10-server-cloudimg-amd64.ova The default configuration about "Serial Port 1" is Serial Port 1: Use physical serial port Status: Connected at PowerOn But with the default configuration I get warning message as follows when power on the VM: Cannot connect the virtual device serial0 because no corresponding device is available on the host. Do you want to try to connect this virtual device every time you power on the virtual machine? Workaround: It can be fixed by Setting "Connected at PowerOn" to false.
