Environment

• Talos version: v1.5.x
• Platform: VMWare vSphere 8, ESXi 8

[eugene-marchanka]

The problem is in file names inside archive.
v1.4.x:

$ ls -la 1-4-8/
total 160536
drwxrwxr-x 2 test test     4096 Aug 23 11:45 .
drwxrwxr-x 5 test test     4096 Aug 23 11:53 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 test test      167 Aug 10 11:41 disk.mf
-rw-r--r-- 1 test test     5773 Aug 10 11:41 disk.ovf
-rw-r--r-- 1 test test 82177024 Aug 10 11:41 disk.vmdk
-rw-rw-r-- 1 test test 82186240 Aug 10 12:00 vmware-amd64.ova

vs
v1.5.x:

$ ls -la 1-5-0/
total 162980
drwxrwxr-x 2 test test     4096 Aug 23 11:55 .
drwxrwxr-x 5 test test     4096 Aug 23 11:53 ..

-rw-r--r-- 1 test test     5787 Aug 17 07:16 vmware-amd64.ovf
-rw-r--r-- 1 test test 83423744 Aug 17 07:16 vmware-amd64.vmdk

Solution:

1. Download .ova image
2. Extract tar -xvf vmware-amd64.ova
3. Rename vmware-amd64.* to disk.*
4. Edit disk.ovf: <File ovf:href="vmware-amd64.vmdk" ovf:id="file1" ovf:size="83417600"/> -> <File ovf:href="disk.vmdk" ovf:id="file1" ovf:size="83417600"/>
5. shasum -a 256 disk.ovf
6. Update disk.mf with new SHA from #5
7. Compress everything back: tar -cvf vmware-amd64.ova disk.ovf disk.vmdk disk.mf
8. export OVA_PATH=<path_to_new_vmware-amd64.ova>
9. Try run ./vmware.sh upload_ova
