Remove dependency on ovftool

Open glennmatthews opened this issue 10 years ago • 2 comments

@kakeim had determined that pyVmomi (https://github.com/vmware/pyvmomi) might be a suitable Python alternative to using ovftool, but had hit some bugs in that project. Further investigation is needed.

The reason for this request is that VMware requires a user account to download ovftool and thus there's no way for COT's installer to automatically install ovftool (unlike any of the other dependencies like qemu-img, fatdisk, etc).

Now that we're using pyVmomi for serial port fixup, we should investigate moving away from ovftool altogether.
