Is there some way of changingdowngrading the OVF version for the virtual image, so that it will work on ESXi 5.0 Cheers, Victor. Copy the vmdk to the vmfs datastore use command on ESXi vmkfstools -i -d thin It should fix the issue, i used it couple of times Venkat Award me points if it answers your question. Change it to a version that is compatible with your hardware. The command for that is ovftool After this is done you can deploy the OVF. Then use a hashing utility to calculate the SHA-1 of the edited OVF file and replace the corresponding SHA-1 hash in the.mf file. However, we (and looks like most of the vm community) are having problems with the vi client v6 and from my experiences guys, you have to go with vcenter and use the web gui as its not a recommended practise to use the vi client to manage each host. For our purposes though (and to not go off topic) we wanted to downgrade to esxi 5.1. Vmx J-Vmx-14.1R1.10-Domestic Free Path ToThe problem is that when you export vms that are running esxi v6, it might shoot the following error the ovf package requires unsupported hardware, details line 25: unsupported hardware family vmx-11 Solution What im describing here is the free path to doing this.

Because ovftool is a supported vmware tool, it seems less risky than other methods. I had a hardware failure on my home development hosts and I decided to do backups of all of my machines.
