The VMDK file is the actual virtual disk, an ovf file is just a settings file (plain text), that VMWare products (like ESXi Server) and other virtualization software (like Virtualbox) can use when importing the VM. You may have an existing settings file (like a .vmx) which you can convert into ovf format using VMware's tool 'ovftool': http://communities.vmware.com/community/vmtn/vsphere/automationtools/ovf There's quite a lot of options, which are detailed here in the user guide: http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/ovf/ovf20/ovftool_201_userguide.pdf |
