Create OVA from VM created by vsphere-clone

[Akhilesh Verma]

HI ,
I am using vsphere-clone as builder to clone a VM. Now i want to create a OVA file which i can export anywhere.
I was trying to use https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/image-builder/blob/master/images/capi/packer/ova/packer.json#L130 script but somehow vsphere-clone does not generate files in packer-manifest.json file and the given python script expects vmdk file list un packer-manifest.json.

So is there any way or option by which we can create OVA file from a cloned VM.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Akhilesh Verma

Hello

You can use ovftools to create OVAs from VMs
