The purpose of this article is to outline the different scenarios that pre-packaged OVF and OVA files could fail with when trying to upload into the VCGS environment.
This assumes an understanding of the OVF and OVA structures. It may also require the ability to modify files locally, or even upload locally to VMware Virtual Center Server, to modify and re-export in preparation for the upload to VCGS.
These limitations apply for any implementation of VMware vCloud Director. As it relates to the way the tenants are isolated in their individual Organizations, and how the technology is layered on top of Virtual Center Server, which the user does not have access to.
Symptoms:
- Uploading an OVF in VMware vCloud Government Service (VCGS) reports:
successfully uploaded
- The upload has failed.
- When uploading you see the error:
Unable to perform this action. Contact your cloud administrator
