Description

Hello,

I deploied successfully a tiny OVA file using the vShpere Web Client. When I try to deploy the same OVA file using the script deploy_ova.py, I receive this error :

(vim.fault.UnsupportedDatastore) { dynamicType = , dynamicProperty = (vmodl.DynamicProperty) [], msg = 'The virtual machine is not supported on the target datastore.', faultCause = , faultMessage = (vmodl.LocalizableMessage) [], datastore = 'vim.Datastore:datastore-436' }

Could you give me some advices please ?

Thanks Xavier

Research direction
Check the datastore compatibility for the OVA deployment. Ensure the target datastore is of a type supported by the virtual machine hardware version. Review the deploy ova.py script's datastore selection logic.
