Maybe it was in previous version. When I'm runing ovftool to generate ovf file I'm getting the following error: Export failed due to the following error: (vim.fault.DeviceBackingNotSupported) { dynamicType = , faultCause = (vmodl.MethodFault) null, device = "cdrom0", reason = "host", backing = "cdrom-raw", msg = "", } Any ideas ??
