Has anyone been successful at getting the ovftool to import an ova from the esxi 5.1 shell to the local host?
Background: I have a kickstart DVD install that installs esxi 5.1 then copies files to the local datastore1. extracts the vmware-ovftools to local datastore1 then executes a command ovftool <options> <source> <dest> I get an error: ovftool :not found Below is my actual script.
/vmfs/volumes/$(hostname -s)-datastore1/vmware-ovftool/ovftool --machineOutput --dm=thin --powerOn \
/vmfs/volumes/$(hostname -s)-datastore1/FILES/VCSA-5.1.ova --name=vCenter vi://root:password@localhost
