# How to Resolve .vmx to .ova Error

Ideas [to fix errors](https://srinimf.com/2015/01/29/cics-invoke-web-service-error-response-13-and-14/) during conversion from .vmx to .ova file. [The background](https://srinimf.com/2015/11/29/understanding-the-background-of-data-modelling-cordinality/) is, I moved to ***Oracle Virtual box ***from VMware player. I have tried to import old ***virtual machine( .vmx) ***from the Oracle virtual box, but .vmx file not supported. After little research, I found that I need .ova file.

## [How to](https://srinimf.com/2015/12/15/want-to-know-more-about-import-load-and-special-register-in-db2/) convert .vmx to .ova or .ovf file?

The resolution, I explained it in three steps.

1. Incorrect Command
2. Correct Command
3. How to use the command

I have installed **ovftool **from the Vmware website. In the command mode, I have given the below command to convert it to a .ova file from a .vmx file.

My command not worked. I did some research and found a solution. Then I used corrected-command. It worked fine, and I can convert the file.

### 1. The Incorrect Command That I Used

This is just an example. As per your ovftool installed path you need to use.

c**:\Program Files\VMware\VMware OVF Tool>ovftool** F:\Ubantu64\ubuntu 64-bit.vmx F:\myuba\Myuba.ova

### 2. The Correct Command You Need

Add double quotes on both the sides of the path.

**c:\Program Files\VMware\VMware OVF Tool>ovftool **“F:\Ubantu64\ubuntu 64-bit.vmx: “F:\myuba\Myuba.ova”

### 3. [How to use](https://srinimf.com/2019/11/12/ubuntu-tutorial-cut-command-on-csv-file/) the ovftool?
