for me it iooks like a corrupt ovf/ova ... ?!
anything i do, fails:
- s3 upload ova generated by packer with rhel8 and lvm, and exported by packer-amazon-plugin to ovf+convert to ova via ovftool or direct export via ofvtool to ova
- s3 upload a manually installed rhel8 vm without lvm and exported via ovftool directly to ova
both fails to import to aws (by packer-amazon-plugin or also manually via aws-gui).
so there might be some incompatibility between vsphere and aws which isnt documented, yet ?!
anyone having same issue or an idea to solve it ?
reimport a ova (exported via ovftool) to vcenter(7.0.3) via gui is no problem.
so OVA should be OK.
switching over to vmdk import is also not possible
i have it: kms key had no permission in my IAM Policy for vmimport.
