VMWARE Hardware Versions and Notes about deploying opendedupe and the VMX-13 error

[Erick Perez]

Please be aware that as of this writing the OVF file inside the OVA, has this declaration:

<VirtualHardwareSection>

      <Info>Virtual hardware requirements</Info>

      <System>

        <vssd:ElementName>Virtual Hardware Family</vssd:ElementName>

        <vssd:InstanceID>0</vssd:InstanceID>

        <vssd:VirtualSystemType>vmx-13</vssd:VirtualSystemType>

      </System>

So OpenDedupe is asking for Vmware ESX release 6.5 at least to be deployed.

According to this VMWARE document https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1003746

the ID of vmware hardware type is:

VMware products and their virtual hardware version

This table lists VMware products and their virtual hardware version:
