unable to import librenms-ubuntu-22.04-amd64-vmware.ova into esxi 7.03

I am getting unsupported hardware family vmx-20.

That’s not enough information to really help us diagnose you’re issue.

I'm having the same issue. When trying to deploy the VMware OVA file into 7.03 the following error message is displayed and the deploy will not go any further. Looks like the OVA needs to be updates to support vmx-20.

Is there a workaround for this?

Apparently, your hypervisor is not new enough to support the hardware version in the image.

Possibly the image could be built targeting an older hardware version.
vmx-11 would cover about every supported system.

Tony, Thanks for the info. I’ll just built a new server and migrate the data as per the LibreNMS instructions.

I'll have a play with

--maxVirtualHardwareVersion=17

That should target ESXI 7.0. Not sure we should really build for versions older than that which are EOL now.

Is the latest build UEFI only?
