Difference between Export and Clone VM
Posted: 16. Apr 2019, 09:03
Hi,
Is there any difference between clone(existing VM) & export / direct export(existing VM) before import the appliance to other machines..
Because when I do direct export VM as appliance(.ova) and import to other machines then most of the time, it works however it failed in few hosts with the error "Failed to Import Appliance test.ova E_INVALIDARG(0x80070057)" .
But then it is success always when I make clone first and export the cloned VM and import to any hosts later.
Looking forward your advise as we need to rely on one technique consistenlty for deployment purposes.
Thanks & Regards,
Saran
