To convert the vmdk files to ovf we need to use the ovf tool which can be downloaded from below .
1. Download and install OVF tool on the server
2. Open command prompt as administrator
3. Go to the OVF installation path
C:\Windows\system32>cd C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware OVF Tool
4. Run the command
ovftool pathto.vmx newfile.ovf
Example
C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware OVF Tool>
If you are getting Error: Failed to open OVF descriptor it is because the path given is not correct .Provide Correct source and destination and start again .
Example.
C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware OVF Tool>ovftool C:\VM\virtualmachine.vmx C:\VM\virtualmachine.ovf
ovftool C:\VM\virtumamachine.vmx C:\VM\virtualmachine.ovf
Opening VMX source: C:\VM\virtualmachine.vmx
Opening OVF target: C:\VM\virtualmachine.ovf
Writing OVF package: C:\VM\virtualmachine.ovf
Progress: 14%
Once it is completed with 100 % you may use the ova for deployment purpose .
