ova deployment

[Nicolas Rietsch]

Hi,

I just struggled installing the virtual appliance on esx 6.5

First, I got this error:

Error installing OVA 'xsi' is an undeclared namespace

The fix posted worked:

In order to fix the XSI error that the OVA appliance has. You need to 

1- Open the OVA file with an extractro such as 7-zip

2- extract or modify the file Datish Virtual NAS Appliance 5_2.ovf

3- find line #2 and add these text to the end of the line, right before the ">"

xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

4- Save the file and import the OVA as usual.

HOWEVER, to be effective, the ova file must be recreated with vmware's ovftool.

With the above done, I got another error regarding the EULA section.

To fix that part, replace:

<Section xsi:type="EulaSection_Type">

<Info>Licensing agreement</Info>

<License>

            [...]

</License>

</Section>

with:

<EulaSection>

<Info>Licensing agreement</Info>

<License>

            [...]

</License>

</EulaSection>

Again, the ova file MUST be recompiled with ovftool.

/Hope this will save some people time.....
