Copy to cloud fails at 66% (2030400)
Symptoms
Copy to cloud fails with the error:
transfer failed no file to upload
Copy to cloud fails at 66%
In the vCloud Director logs, you see the error:
Error was encountered while reading the OVF file you provided
Cause
Failures at 66% may be caused by several issues. When the copy has reached 66%, the template has been copied to the external node and is awaiting upload to the destination server.
Possible causes include:
The node is unable to resolve the destination due to incorrect DNS configuration
There is insufficient space on the destination
The template being uploaded is corrupt
The template being uploaded has a EULA attached which contains an apostrophe
Resolution
To resolve this issue:
Ensure that DNS is fully configured for both forward and reverse lookups.
Ensure there is enough space on the destination.
Check the template for corruption, and replace if necessary.
To work around the EULA issue:
If a EULA is attached to the template, remove any apostrophes.
Add <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> as first line in the descriptor.ovf file.
