i recently started to create vmware os images with packer. After exporting the ovf,mf,vmdk i convert it to a signle ova-file with the ovftool but when i open it with 7zip/tar theres only the vmdk file in it and I am also unable to use it with virtualbox or vsphere. When I try to validate the ova with ovftool itself I get following error.
Error: Did not find an .ovf file at the beginning of the OVA package.
Kind Regards
I increased the logging output of ovftool but I do not see any errors regarding this problem.
