Unable to export/import ovf package in virtualbox with ISO

[vasu]

Hi.

I have tried to export test.ova package with ISO image attached to virtual box. after exporting, untared the test.ova and unfortunately i found only test.vmdk and test.ovf. where i did not found ISO file.I have tried to import the same package but it was unable to attach ISO.

I also copied the ISO image to ova package and edited the OVF xml file accordingly to tar he test.ova. Even after this i am unable to import .ova with attached ISO file to the controller.

Please suggest me a way to do this.

Thanks in advance.

Do you have a reference which says that standard OVF files should support this?

Why not simply copy the VM folder, with the ISO already mounted and bundled inside?

And if you're copying the VM by whatever method, why do you still the ISO? Surely it's contents are already installed?
