Hi,
I'm very sorry reply so late.

[context]
In our software, we need update OVA file on line, so we want to know the OVA unique identifier.
If the local OVA file is identical with the remote OVA on http server, we needn’t download the remote OVA.
If the local OVA file isn’t identical with the romote OVA, we need download the remote OVA to local PC automatically.
It's embarrassing if there is no any attribute to identify a OVA file.
Maybe we have no choice but to use the name by convention to identify the OVA file.
Thanks,
Wang Fei
