VBOX_E_FILE_ERROR (0x80BB0004)

Post by gravyking »

Getting this error when trying to import an Oracle Linux ova file.
Using VBox 6.1 (6.1.18 latest updates)

Details are:
Failed to import appliance C:\Users\xxx\Downloads\OL7U9_x86_64-olvm-b77.ova.
Error reading "C:\Users\xxx\Downloads\OL7U9_x86_64-olvm-b77.ova": "Element InstanceID is absent under Item element, line 83. see DMTF Schema Documentation http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/cim-html/2/".
Result Code: VBOX_E_FILE_ERROR (0x80BB0004)
Component: ApplianceWrap
Interface: IAppliance {86a98347-7619-41aa-aece-b21ac5c1a7e6}

I have tried both OL8U3_x86_64-olvm-b78.ova and OL7U9_x86_64-olvm-b77.ova.
I ran certutil -hashfile OL8U3_x86_64-olvm-b78.ova sha256 and the files check out.
I don't use VBox alot but I was able to download and import the DeveloperDaysVM2019-05-31_20.ova file with no issues.

Lastly I did search before posting but didn't find any hits, maybe just didn't know where to look. Any ideas?

If you have any VMs you have run before, Please right-click the VM in the main Virtualbox window's VM list, choose Show Log.

Search the far left tab's log for this text:

Attempting fall back to NEM

If you find it, Hyper-V is enabled and needs to be disabled. See HMR3Init: Attempting fall back to NEM (Hyper-V is active).

Hyper-V has interfered with hashing inside VMs in the past, I don't know if it might interfere with the OVA hashing. You report having imported another OVA correctly.

This implies to me that the OVA file is not built correctly:
"Element InstanceID is absent under Item element, line 83
