title: Getting error while converting VMX to OVF format
body: <p>I am trying to convert .vmx to OVF format using OVFtool. I am following the below steps:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>Copying .vmx and .vmdk file using "scp" command from ESX server to
  one linux box.</p></li>
  <li><p>On linux box, executed command [# ovftool myVM.vmx myOVF.ovf] from
  the location where .vmx and .vmdk are present. I get error as below:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Opening VMX source: myVM.vmx
  Error: Failed to open disk: myVM.vmdk
  Completed with errors
  </code></pre></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Please can anyone suggest </p>
  
  <p>I have also noticed that on ESX there are 2-3 .vmdk files of same VM, myVM-flat.vmdk, myVM.vmdk, myVM-000001.vmdk. Do I need to copy all .vmdk files to linux box and then convert file format?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
