Problem Summary: Ontap 9 OVF from website fails to deploy on VMWare Workstation

 

1.Please find attached the screenshots showing error when the ovf fails to meet criteria

 

 

2.Tried doing the following:

a.manually extracting the ovf and further extracting the 4 disk files

b.Creating a new VM and attaching these as IDE hard disks

c.Not missing a floppy/serial port as these cause no boot up or hung boot up

d.Still face the attached errors:

-You do not have write access to a partition.

-g_vfs_done error=5

 

Info-only the 8.x series which are in compressed tgz format seem to work
