Before We understand how to Export VM to OVA or OVF using OVF Tool, Let’s understand where to download and how to install the VMware OVF Tool. OVF Tool installer is available for Windows, Linux and MAC OSX.
You can download the VMware OVF tool from VMware Website.
– Once you finish the installation of the VMware OVF Tool, Browse towards the directory where you installed the OVF tool using the CD command. By default, below is the installation directory
cd “C:Program FilesVMwareVMware OVF Tool”

** Discover the VM Path on vCenter using the OVF Tool
– To export VM to OVA file using the VMware OVF tool, we have to call ovftool.exe along with the vCenter URL and credentials, and you will also need the path to your VM. To know the VM path, we can use the OVF Tool to discover the VM path.

– If you don’t know the VM path, you can discover it. For example, enter the vCenter URL and credentials.
ovftool.exe vi://vcenter-name
example: ovftool.exe vi://vcenter01.tic.local

– Display the VM OVF details
With the OVF tool, the default vi command displays a friendly version of the VM OVF details. You can run the below command to get the VM OVF Detail
# ovftool.exe vi://vcenter-name/DC-NAME/vm/vm-name
example: ovftool.exe vi://vcenter01.tic.local/MD-LAB/vm/web-01
enter Username and pass center

** Export VM to OVA using OVF Tool
To export VM to OVA file, enter ” ovftool.exe vi://” with the VM path and with a local file with a “.ova” suffix at the end.
ovftool.exe vi://vcenter-name/DC-NAME/vm/vm-name Folder path to save the OVA fileova-name.ova

— example:
ovftool.exe vi://vc-01.md.lab/MD-LAB/vm/web-01 C:vm-exportweb-01.ova

– After exporting the VM to OVA, you can see the “.OVA” file is saved in the directory which we have specified during the conversion

** Export VM to OVF using OVF Tool
– Export VM to the OVF process is similar to exporting VM to OVA. enter ” ovftool.exe vi://” with the VM path and with a destination directory. By default, OVF Tool exports VM to.OVF file. So, we don’t need to specify the.OVF file extension here.

ovftool.exe vi://vcenter-name/DC-NAME/vm/vm-name patch to save the OVF file

example:
ovftool.exe vi://vc-01.md.lab/MD-LAB/vm/web-01 E:vm-export

– Exporting VM as OVF is completed successfully. Let’s take a look at the export directory and check the files.
An OVF package structure consists of a number of files: a descriptor file, optional manifest and certificate files, optional disk images, and optional resource files (such as ISO’s). The optional disk image files can be VMware vmdk’s, or any other supported disk image file.
