Symptoms
On importing an OVF package provided by vendors you receive the error message: “OVF Package with compressed disks is currently not supported for OVF import”.
- When you deploy an OVF template containing compressed files references (typically compressed using gzip), the operation fails.
Cause
This can occur when vendors create packages using non-supported methods.
Workaround
To workaround this issue, run the following command to convert the OVF or OVA template. The new template must have no compressed disks.
- Go to the folder containing the template:
cd template-folder
- Convert the template.
- OVA template conversion:
path-to-ovf-tool\ovftool.exe ova-template-name.ova newova-template-name.ova
- OVF template conversion:
path-to-ovf-tool\ovftool.exe ovf-template-name.ovf new-ovf-template-name.ovf
