Deploying an OVA exported from VMware Cloud Director to vCenter Server fails with the error "Issues detected with selected template. Details: - 107:17:VALUE_ILLEGAL: Duplicate value ''1'' for element ''Address''"

Products

• VMware vCenter Server

Issue/Introduction

If you export an OVA from VMware Cloud Director and you attempt to deploy the same OVA to vCenter Server, the operation fails with an error message: Issues detected with selected template. Details: - 107:17:VALUE_ILLEGAL: Duplicate value ''1'' for element ''Address''

Cause

This happens because the OVF template contains a duplicate line for the Address element. This is a known issue that occurs when exporting OVF templates using vCloud Director versions older than 10.3.3.4.

Resolution

As a workaround, you can export the OVF template using vCenter or the ESXi host client rather than using vCloud Director.

The permanent resolution to the issue is to upgrade vCloud director to version 10.3.3.4 or higher.

Additional Information

This is documented in the release vCloud director release notes: VMware Cloud Director 10.5 Release Notes
