Export fails without error in gui, disk image is not created

Solaris 10 U8
VirtualBox-3.2.10-SunOS-r66523.pkg DL from VB website
I have a guest with a SCSI (lsi) controller and disk.
There is a SATA controller defined, but no disk attached. (ding ding ding ding)
The EXPORT wizard in the GUI will export this machine without a problem, but a disk image (from the scsi disk) is not created.
The CLI also fails.... (as expected)
Code: Select all
# VBoxManage export VTS -o /tmp/VTS.ovf
Oracle VM VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 3.2.10

ERROR: Missing or bad extra config string in hard disk image: "controller=0;channel=1"
Details: code VBOX_E_NOT_SUPPORTED (0x80bb0009), component Appliance, interface IAppliance, callee
Context: "Write" at line 961 of file VBoxManageImport.cpp
Delete the unused SATA controller.
BUG: The export wizard in the GUI doesn't trap the error.
Also BUG: Export cannot handle a SATA controller without any attached disks.

THANK YOU!!
2 years later and this still is not fixed. Was searching for hours for why this was failing.

8 years since the initial report, yet no one has explained why there is an empty controller in your VM to begin with...
Not that it's not the appropriate/correct action at the export phase, but it's something avoidable, no?

Welcome to 2019, same failure.
This VM has one SATA drive with two virtual disks.
I removed an empty IDE controller.
I removed the optical-disc from the SATA.
Code: Select all
VBoxManage export "$VMachine" --output "$TARGETDIR/${OVFName}.ova" \
--ovf20 \
--manifest \
--vsys 0 \
--vmname "Virtual machine for BU MET CS674" \
--product "Virtual machine for BU MET CS674" \
--vendor "The Schema Czar with Boston University Metropolitan College" \
--version "2019-01" \
--description "$DESCRIPTION" \
--eula "$EULA"

I don't see in any of the problem reports above a link to a
Bugtracker ticket.
Locking to prevent me-too-ing, because the devs were apparently never told about the issue.
If the Virtualbox GUI exports the VM with a diskless controller but the command line does not, then there is a bug worth reporting.
And the proposed fix in the OP, to add a disk the appliance did not have, is not good. If the controller did not have a disk in the original VM, there may have been a very good reason. Second-guessing the recipe of the VM is a deep rabbit-hole to go down....
If anyone wants to make a Bugtracker ticket and post it here, please PM a
moderator.
