importVapp failed

There's a problem when I try to restore a Vmachine.

vmbkp restore --name ChromeOS --host 172.17.2.62 --datastore "ced62:storage1" vm-845

This is the log output:

Please bring out your using softwares' version, vSphere composition, and backup environment.

Do you have permission to import ovf to the vSphere environment?
Try to import the ovf file in the backup directory manually.

If failed, please attach the ovf file.

[markeclaudio]

Software version: 1.0.2
VSphere: 4.1
Backup Server: Linux 2.6.32-28-server #55-Ubuntu SMP x86_64 GNU/Linux Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS

how can I import ovf file in the backup?

(Please Note:

[starpos]

You can deploy an ovf file with vSphere client software.
Menubar -> File -> Deploy OVF template.

File "snapshot-943.ovf.orig" is the original ovf file extracted from your vSphere.
File "snapshot-943.ovf" is almost the same but disk information is removed.
Disk information is stored in vmbkp_generation.profile file.
Try to deploy snapshot-943.ovf.

[markeclaudio]

Ok this work well.
thanks!

and about the disk?

[starpos]

Do you want to restore just your VM once or want to use vmbkp in your system?

In the former case, create empty disks by hand and use vmdkbkp command to restore disk image. Please read README for usage.

In the latter case, please attach the ovf file. I can try to test vmbkp with the ovf in our environment and may fix the software.
Because we use still vSphere 4.0, I may yet fail to solve the problem.

[markeclaudio]

OK thanks!
but
vmbkp restore --name ChromeOS --host 172.17.2.62 --datastore "ced62:storage1" vm-845

can restore only vm without HD?

[starpos]

can restore only vm without HD?

No. After deploying the ovf file, then vmbkp will create empty disks
and execute vmdkbkp to restore disk images automatically.

Currently this software is not tested enough with various settings and environments
while we have used this software for about a year in our vSphere environment without big problems.

Thank you.

what's wrong? I'm trying to restore manually

You need to specify --remote option and its related options: --server, --username, --password --vm.
Argument for --remote option should be like "[datastore name] /vm-name/vm-disk-name.vmdk".
Argument for --vm option should be moref like vm-123. Your vm is vm-148.

vmdkbkp restore --digestin 0.digest 0.vmx

Vmdkbkp uses its original format for dump files.
Do not specify 0.vmx directly.

what's wrong?
really thanks

[starpos]

--dumpin option is not used in restore, because restore command may require multiple dump files as input data.
Specify as an argument as follows:

vmdkbkp restore --digestin 0.digest --remote "[ced62:storage1] /test/test.vmdk" --server 172.17.2.63 --username root --password test --vm vm-148 0.dump

[starpos]

By the way, I'm very interested in the reason why ovf import failed in your environment.
If it's OK with you, please send me the ovf files and other files also except for disk data.

It's enough that 0.err, 0.log, snapshot-917.ovf, snapshot-917.ovf.orig, and vmbkp_generation.profile.

Thank you.
