Hi All,

Environment: PCA X8-2 version 2.4.2 LINUX x86_64 OL6.10

I was given 5 files exported from VMWare for particular VM installed with Windows Server 2016:

1. ovf

2. disk-1.vmdk

3. disk-2.vmdk

4. nvram

5. mf

From the notes given to me, for a successful appliance import into OVM Manager, I need to remove reference to nvram in the ovf file. Due to file content has changed, I need to generate sha256sum for the ovf file and change the value in the mf file. The nvram line in the mf is deleted. OVM Manager can then import the ovf as appliance successfully, and I can create a VM from this appliance.
