I am trying to use OVF tools 1.0 to create an .ovf appliance split to 4gbs. When I run the following command:

ovftool --chunkSize=4gb vi://:@/?ds= e:\test\test.ovf

everything starts off fine. It will got for about 15-16% then I get this message:

"Error: unable to get NFC ticket for target disk".

I have looked online, but cannot find anything that matches this problem. I am using Windows 2k3 as the ovf creation server, and I'm in a ESX 3.5 environment. The ovf must be split into 4gb chunks (or less) so they can be put onto DVDs. Also, when it is done it deletes the files it started to create. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

NFC = Network File Copy, if that helps to clarify anything – Mark Henderson♦ Jan 13 '10 at 20:08
