When you deploy an OVF Template you get the following error:
The OVF package requires unsupported hardware
Unsupported hardware family vmx-10
This error is related to the virtual hardware version configured for the OVF template – it is not supported by the used vSphere version.
Fortunately there is a workaround you can try:
Step 1 – edit the ovf file:
- open the .ovf file with an editor
- find the line <vssd:VirtualSystemType>vmx-10</vssd:VirtualSystemType>
- change vmx-10 to eg. vmx-07 (or another hw-version working with your ESXi)
- save the changes
Step 2 – calculate SHA-1 and change .mf file:
Now you have to replace the corresponding SHA-1 of the edited OVF file in the .mf file:
If you have a hashing utility, calculate the SHA-1 of the edited .ovf file and replace the hash in the .mf file.
Then the import of the OVF Template should work without any problems/errors.
If you do not have an hashing utility, download one. You can use eg. „HashmyFiles“ from NirSoft if you want.
