Hi All,

    We are in process of migrating API Connect V5 to V10 version and in that process we need to setup V5 environment to perform intermediate upgrade from 5.0.8.6 to 5.0.8.7 before migrating to V10(10.0.5.6). While setting up V5 environment, VMware team not able to import OVA file(APIConnect_Management_5.0.8.6iFix_20190509-2159_e1921dac94eb_8671de8.ova) and getting unable to process template error. Case has been raised with VMware broadcom team and they suggested OVA files with external msg files are not processed by Vcenter server, hence the workaround is to use url instead of file, or to check with vendor if we can get an OVA without msg file. We tried using url but still getting unable to process template. Do any one know workaround for this issue and how to get this fixed please?

Hi Rajendra,

You can use the OVF tool to deploy the .ova files.

Thanks,

We have only ESXi 7 version and not ESXi 6.5 version. Do we know APIC Management server V5.0.8.6 ova file is compatible with ESXi 7 version? Any one able to deploy 5.0.8.6 OVA file in ESXi 7 using ovf cli tool?
