Trying to export a VM on ESXi using vSphere Web Client.
The Export fails almost immediately with Network Error - no other info.
Why do I get an Network Error? Where are the logs to check?
I looked at exporting via the Datastore but all I can seem to do is copy the think provisioned disk image (its a bit big).
Anyway, I was looking at doing an export using ovftool. But I cannot workout for the life of my what goes where. So I tried this
e.g.
ovftool vi://root@my.esxi.server.url
But all I get is an SSL connection error.
What is the correct usage of ovftool to login, export and copy a VM on e.g. my.esxi.server.url to my local folder on my remote machine?
Why am I getting an SSL connection error? Where are the logs to check?
