Environment

Cause
The OVA upload from the client deploying the OVA to the vCenter is not upload the OVA correctly adding additional data to the import.
Connecting through VPNs or Proxies and other network devices can append extra data to the import.
Resolution
Currently, there is no resolution. This will require troubleshooting the network between the client deploying the OVA and vCenter to find out where the additional data is getting added.
Workaround: Deploy the OVA from another computer and network path, or a jumpbox VM that is on the same subnet as the vCenter.
