I guess as knowledge filler, if anyone gets to this issue via search of some
sort, here are the steps to troubleshoot it and resolve.
Cause of the issue:
The OVA file created in vSphere, had NIC set to E1000e instead of most common
and expected E1000. In my case, the windows 2008 VM (and windows 2012) has
been created with NIC type of "E1000e", when attempting to re-create the VM
from OVA, the ESXi host could not interpret the NIC type of E1000e. As a
result, an error in vSphere would show up with content like:
Deploy OVF template
CloudStack_Dev
Invalid
configuration for
device '5'.
MYDOMAIN\my-vmware-user-for-cs

3/28/2013 12:32:56 PM
3/28/2013 12:33:00 PM
How issue was identified:
Identify which ESXi host this operation has been ran on as indicated in
management-server.log file, then, inspect the hostd.log file for specific
error. In my case error was:
Nic edit failed: nic type not accepted: (vim.vm.device.VirtualEthernetCard)
{....}
Solution:
Alter the NIC type to E1000 (instead of E1000e) and retry the import and
deployment.
