If a SCSI hard disk controller is created and it contains hard disks, they will not be exported. With SAS controllers the export works fine, but my virtual machine doesn't work here.

Re: Exporting a VM does not work with all virtual disks
I can't reproduce it. Can you give some more details? Start with the "recipe" of the VM, the ".vbox" file:hronny wrote:If a SCSI hard disk controller is created and it contains hard disks, they will not be exported.
- Right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager. Select "Show in Finder/Explorer/Whatever".
- ZIP the selected ".vbox" file and attach it to your response.
That's another problem. Let's solve the export first (it's in the title after all) and then you can open a new thread with the SAS problem...hronny wrote:With SAS controllers the export works fine, but my virtual machine doesn't work here.

Re: Exporting a VM does not work with all virtual disks
I uploaded both versions and just tried export again, with the same result. So I uploaded both VBOX files. The export only works with the SAS Controller. The list of the export with the SCSI controller is attached as a screenshot. Here you can see that there is only one hard disk instead of four. The virtual hard disks are located on different physical drives. Is that a problem?

Re: Exporting a VM does not work with all virtual disks
You have a mix of SATA and SCSI/SAS controllers. I'm not sure if multiple controllers are supported in the OVA specification, you got to look it up.
I did a test with SCSI only, and another with SAS only, and it worked just fine, both of them. So, try to remove the SATA controllers from your configuration and try again...
