Hello, One potential idea will be decompress the ova and have the files, and work from there with packer.
http://www.packer.io/docs/builders/vmware-vmx.html you may use packer to take that VM and create a new one you can use packer with an ISO or with other VM, so in this case you will feeding the VM, doing nothing, and use it to push it and make it vagrant-aware you may use the same process in case you want - update the kernel - update the os - create vagrant user and vagrant keys - create the box file Other way will be open the ova in vmware on your desktop, and then using vagrant package to create a new box from there >From memory, and theory, you may use other methods like decompress the ova and do manual stuff, but I will avoid manual hacks until the proper paths have been exhausted, in this way you will end with a proven and tested method.. rather than something that just works. Let me know if you need any help on this, Alvaro.
