govc: file does not exist

Could be either options.json or the .ova, but those errors would include the file name like so:

govc: open options.json: no such file or directory

govc: open /root/amit/amit1/ccaas-analytics/kube-ansible/ova/k8s-1.23.10-tmpl.ova: no such file or directory

Did you also create the file options.json ?

apansuria01 commented 1 year ago

Hi Dougm,

Thank you for your reply. actually both files are present at same location.

If you run the command using strace -f: strace -f govc ...

The output should show which file it can't find, for example you'd see something like:

[pid 32901] openat(AT_FDCWD, "foo.ova", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC <unfinished ...>
[pid 32901] <... openat resumed>)       = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

Hi Dougm,

Thank you for your response.

That's not the entire strace output, just what's visible in your term window? You can use the strace -o to write to a file instead: strace -f -o strace.log govc ...

apansuria01 commented 1 year ago

Hi Dougm,

I agreed with you it is not entire strace output.I redirect the output to log file as per your suggestion. please find the attached "stage.log" file.

strace.log

Regards, Amit

dougm commented 1 year ago

Thanks, I can see from the strace govc has opened the .ova file and is searching for a file within the archive. It can't find the file and returns the error here: https://github.com/vmware/govmomi/blob/aae3b7bf6426cf6eec9ed4b5b21b5090390ac283/govc/importx/archive.go#L143

os.ErrNotExist is where the "file does not exist" message comes from. We can change govc to include the file name with that error message. In the meantime, you can extract the archive:

tar -xvf k8s-1.23.10-tmpl.ova

Then instead of govc import.ova, use govc import.ovf ... with the same options, but change k8s-1.23.10-tmpl.ova to k8s-1.23.10-tmpl.ovf that was extracted from the ova. Since import.ovf reads files from disk, rather than the ova/tar, the filename will be included in the error message.

Are you able to deploy this .ova using the vCenter UI?

apansuria01 commented 1 year ago

Hi Dougm,

Thank you for your reply.I am not able to deploy this ova from UI. also I am confuse what to do next now? Do I need to re-package OVA? or what? kindly request you to provide clear step.

Regards, Amit

dougm commented 1 year ago

What was the UI error? And did you try with govc import.ovf instead of ova? In any case, sounds like an issue with the ova itself.

apansuria01 commented 1 year ago

Hi Dougm,

when I try to upload ova from UI it say "Selected OVA file is not a valid template."

If I try using ovf instead of ova using govc it uploaded successfully as below

[root@oceanadev16 ova]# govc import.ovf -options=options.json -persist-session=true -json=true -debug=true test/k8s-1.23.10-tmpl.ovf [root@oceanadev16 ova]# echo $? 0

However if I run below it does not return any thing

[root@oceanadev16 ova]# govc vm.info k8s-1.23.10-tmpl.ovf

Regards, Amit

dougm commented 1 year ago

ok, if the UI says its not valid, then not an issue with govc, but the ova itself. I don't know what the ova issue is. As for import.ovf, I would expect the VM name to not have the .ovf extension, so vm.info isn't finding your vm with that name. Did you see a new vm/task after the import.ovf in the UI? Or with govc:

% govc tasks
% govc find / -type m
apansuria01 commented 1 year ago

Hi Dougm,

I am getting below output after upload of .ovf using govc

[root@oceanadev16 ova]# govc tasks Task Target Initiator Queued Started Completed Result

[root@oceanadev16 ova]# govc find / -type m | grep k8s-1.23 /Pune_Shared/vm/Cluster4_AnalyticsService_ESPLABS-2424/k8s-1.23.10-tmpl [root@oceanadev16 ova]#

However govc vm.info does not provide any output.
