Thanks djohn11 and ericathorne, Downloaded and installed the VMWare player and it did not open the.ova file and I got an error when I tried to open the virtual machine image: Error while converting to a virtual machine: Failed to query source for information. I also downloaded and installed the VMWare converter and tried to convert the.ova file but got an error: The file selected is a virtual appliance(.ovf/.ova), not a VMWare Workstation or other VMWare Virtual machine (.vmx).

Virtual appliance sources are not supported. I have been told if I try to open the file from a machine with vmware installed I could probably import the virtual image but I do not have a computer with vmware loaded.

I only have a laptop and I am trying to open this virtual machine file to get practice using the appliance that it is virtualizing. I was able to convert the ova file to an vmx file using the ovf tool.

Lexus Is200 Repair Manual. The tool is command line so I used the command: C: Program Files VMware VMware OVF Tool>ovftool BIGIP-10.1.0.3341.1084.ova c: f5.vmx I copied the ova file to the directory that contained the ovftool.exe and added a destination directory and filename. So the tool created f5.vmx in the root of the C: directory. The format of the command is ovftool then source file and finally destination directory and filename.

After converting the file to a vmx file I was able to double click on it and vmware player opened the virtual machine. I can now practice tasks on a simulated appliance.
