- VMware OVF Tool is a command-line utility that allows you to import and export OVF packages to and from many VMware products.
- You can import an Open Virtualization Format (OVF) virtual machine and run it in VMware Fusion. You can import both.ovf and.ova files. VMware Fusion converts the virtual machine from OVF format to VMware runtime (.vmx) format. OVF is a platform-independent, efficient, extensible, and open.

Hi there, I'm well versed in sysadmin stuff and public clouds but I am vmware total noob. I have two problems:
First problem: I grabbed the official ubuntu 16.40 ova from here (amd64, md5 ending in ..850cf). Mission impossible movie wiki.
At Import time, fusion complains that the OVA 'did not pass the OVF specification conformance of virtual hardware compliance checks'. Fusion offers me to retry with relaxed specifications and then the import works.

Running CoreOS Container Linux on VMware. These instructions walk through running Container Linux on VMware Fusion or ESXi. If you are familiar with another VMware product, you can use these instructions as a starting point. Running the VM Choosing a channel. Container Linux is designed to be updated automatically with different schedules per.
When I boot the resulting VM, it gets stuck at the boot loader with a message like
I tried a bunch of things but I haven't been able to debug the issue further. Isn't this supposed to work out of the box? Can anybody offer advice?
Second problem: is there any way to customise the Ubuntu VM with Fusion? I know I can attach an iso with a cloud-config file but it's a bit cumbersome. I know CoreOS supports passing the user-data for cloud-init through guestinfo, which works great (even if I need to edit the .vmx myself). I haven't figured out if Ubuntu supports any other kind of automated configuration under vmware.
I found this blog post that suggests everything should work well but it doesn't for me. Although the blog post doesn't mention what template it's using.
Thanks in advance.
I'm using Fusion Pro 8.1.1 on a Mac.
I am currently running VMware Fusion 6 on 10.9. I know that in ESX, and I believe even VMware Workstation, you can export a VM to a OVF file and redeploy on VirtualBox, VMware Workstaion/Fusion, and ESX.
My question is, is there a way I can make a OVF file on Fusion for the VM I want to deploy or am I out of luck?

If you have upgraded VMware Fusion, you can export ova in GUI. As of VMware Fusion 7.1.3, you can do this in File->Export to OVF, like this.

For my OSX setup, rather than the convoluted white spaced pathing to the tool, I created a symlink so my $PATH could pick it up
sudo ln -s /Applications/VMware OVF Tool/ovftool /usr/local/bin/ovftool
And then ran ovftool like marathon
