Failed to deploy VM: postNFCData failed: Capacity of uploaded disk is larger than requested

[SITC]

I get the error in the subject when attempting to deploy.  It's not a space issue on the hypervisor, I've tried it on 3 different datastore ranging from 465GB to 2TB.  What I am seeing is that there is an issue with the OVF file and the size it has specified in it.  I've been getting this issue slightly different language when i was using vsphere 5., but have upgraded the host to 6.5.  For some reason it won't deploy.

Any reccomendations on correct size to change within the ovf, or am I missing something?

Thanks!

So I may have resolved my own issue - and for those who are wondering later:  I used notepad to edit the .OVF file and changed the:  <Disk ovf:capacity="4" to <Disk ovf:capacity="702"

I may not understand this correctly, and if not someone can explain better than I in a reply, but I believe the "4" is setting the maximum capacity or size (not 100% sure which) of the VMDK file in Mb.  By setting it to a size in Mb slightly larger than the actual VMDK file size it seems to have deployed without any further issues.

Hope this helps someone in the future.

Hi SITC

The capacity is ovf:capacity="4" ovf:capacityAllocationUnits="byte * 2^30"
which corresponds to 4 x 2^30 bytes or 4 Go

Perhaps your hypervisor misunderstand ovf:capacityAllocationUnits ?

We've found the problem:

Our appliance on centos 6 works with 4Go, which is correct, but our appliance on centos 7 was configured also with 4Go and the HD uses 20Go

We've changed ovf:capacity to 20 and it works now.

I will redeploy, with that number.  Since getting it to deploy  it isn't taking the static IP, hopefully this is related.
Thanks for the pointer.

Best regards.

Hi,

hooking to the point: it isn't taking the static IP:

We recently tried to install the CentOS 7 based VM an ran into another problem: it doesn't take the IP via DHCP and while running through the install script, we couldn't see the typical interaction flow that was usually offered with the CentOS 6 VM.

I will try to send the error report tomorrow, since I have to leave for a meeting now.

Maybe we better open another problem report. I just wanted to find a hook, after I read the comment below.

Thanks, Thomas

I ended up reverting to CentOS6 install, which now has me to the webadm ui.  I haven’t taken things any further at this point.  It seems the centos7 appliance setup is hosed in some way.  Not sure how, but I can say that I did look at the network file and it was blank.  No static IP settings listed.
