I am writing a script in powershell/powercli that lets you upload files to the vShpere content library from a chosen folder/file location. The script works fine with .iso, .mf, .vmdk, .nvram, but when it gets to a .ovf file it throws this error:

New-ContentLibraryItem : 6/22/2022 New-ContentLibraryItem An error occurred while trying to update content library item's files. For more details check the inner exception.
At line:60 char:9

  •     New-ContentLibraryItem -ContentLibrary $ExistingRepo -Name $i ...

  •     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    • CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [New-ContentLibraryItem], VimException
    • FullyQualifiedErrorId : ViCore.Cis.ApiFacade.Impl.ContentLibrary.UpdateItemFilesSession.CloseServerSession.Error,VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Cmdlets.Commands.ContentLibrary.NewContentLibraryItem

I've hit a dead end trying to google how to get the .ovf file into the content library without logging in and doing it manually. Is there a way around this error? should I be using a different command for .ovf files?

  • I'm going to guess at this point the answer is no. I Have not been able to do it successfully or find a solution – wvk0138 Jul 05 '22 at 17:15
