Hi John Chittum,

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
"<rasd:AutomaticAllocation>true</rasd:AutomaticAllocation>" to
"<rasd:AutomaticAllocation>false</rasd:AutomaticAllocation>" 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.
Thanks
