VMware OVF Toolを利用してESXi 6.7からVMをエクスポート

はじめに

VMware OVF Toolというコマンドラインツールを利用して、ESXi 6.7からVMをエクスポートする手順を記しておく。

作業マシンの準備

VMのエクスポートの作業を実施するマシンを準備する。 ここでは、Ubuntu 18.04を利用する。

$ uname -srvm
Linux 4.15.0-43-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 6 14:45:28 UTC 2018 x86_64

VMware OVF Toolのインストール

VMのエクスポート用のツール「VMware OVF Tool」を作業マシンにインストールする。 まずは、以下のWebサイトからダウンロードする。

執筆時点の最新版はRelease 4.3.0だった。 「VMware OVF Tool for Linux 64-bit」を選択すると、「VMware-ovftool-4.3.0-7948156-lin.x86_64.bundle」というファイル名でインストーラがダウンロードされる。 このファイルに実行権限を与えておく。

$ chmod a+x VMware-ovftool-4.3.0-7948156-lin.x86_64.bundle

このインストーラは、GUICUIに対応している。 このインストーラを引数なしで実行するとGUIが起動するが、ここでは詳細は割愛する。 CUIでインストールする場合は、オプション--consoleを付与して以下のようにコマンドを実行する。

$ sudo ./VMware-ovftool-4.3.0-7948156-lin.x86_64.bundle --console
Extracting VMware Installer...done.
You must accept the VMware OVF Tool component for Linux End User

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE TERMS OF THIS END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT SHALL GOVERN YOUR
USE OF THE SOFTWARE, REGARDLESS OF ANY TERMS THAT MAY APPEAR DURING THE
INSTALLATION OF THE SOFTWARE.
(略)

Do you agree? [yes/no]: yes ←●「yes」を入力

The product is ready to be installed.  Press Enter to begin
installation or Ctrl-C to cancel.

一応、以下のように実行することで、CUIでサイレントインストールすることができる。

$ sudo ./VMware-ovftool-4.3.0-7948156-lin.x86_64.bundle --console --eulas-agreed --required

「一応」と書いたのは、オプション--requiredが「必須の入力項目のみプロンプトを表示する」というものであり、このインストーラはたまたま必須の入力項目がなかっただけのように思えるから。

VMのエクスポート

まずはコマンドovftoolのヘルプを表示してみる。

$ ovftool --help
Usage: ovftool [options] <source> [<target>]
where
<source>: Source URL locator to an OVF package, VMX file, or virtual machine in
          vCenter or on ESX Server. 
<target>: Target URL locator which specifies either a file location, or a 
          location in the vCenter inventory or on an ESX Server. 
(以下略)

VMをエクスポートする場合、<source>はESXi上のVMを示すURIに、<target>は出力先のローカルの.ovaファイルを指定することになる。 <source>について、ESXiに直接接続する場合のURIのフォーマットは以下の通り。

vi://[ユーザ名]:[パスワード]@[ESXiホスト]/[VMの名前]

これは妥当なURIでなければならないので、必要に応じてパーセントエンコードする必要がある。 特にパスワードには記号が含まれる場合が多いので、注意が必要になる。 エンコードの方法は色々あるが、Pythonでパスワード「Hello,World!」をエンコードする例は以下のようになる。

$ python3 -c 'import urllib.parse; import os; print(urllib.parse.quote_plus("Hello,World!"))'
Hello%2CWorld%21

これを受けて、例えば以下の環境では、

項目
ユーザ名 root
パスワード Hello,World!
ESXiホスト 192.168.8.20
VMの名前 test-vm

<source>URIは以下になる。

vi://root:Hello%2CWorld%21@192.168.8.20/test-vm

これでコマンドを組み立てる準備が整った。 以下のようにコマンドovftoolを実行する。

$ ovftool vi://root:Hello%2CWorld%21@192.168.8.20/test-vm exported-vm.ova
Accept SSL fingerprint (23:E5:B3:5E:26:16:88:44:8B:DC:F1:DC:97:C7:D8:35:8B:3D:FE:08) for host 192.168.8.20 as source type.
Fingerprint will be added to the known host file
Write 'yes' or 'no'
yes ←●「yes」を入力
Opening VI source: vi://root@192.168.8.20:443/test-vm
Opening OVF target: exported-vm.ovf
Writing OVF package: exported-vm.ovf
Transfer Completed                    
Completed successfully

SSLのフィンガープリントの保存のプロンプトを抑止したければ、以下のようにオプション--noSSLVerifyを付与してovftoolを実行すればよい。

$ ovftool --noSSLVerify vi://root:Hello%2CWorld%21@192.168.8.20/test-vm exported-vm.ova

コマンドが成功すると、ファイルexported-vm.ovaが生成されている。

動作確認 (ovftoolを利用)

以下のようにコマンドovftoolを実行して、exported-vm.ovaがインポートできることを確認する。

$ ovftool --noSSLVerify exported-vm.ova vi://root:Hello%2CWorld%21@192.168.8.20
Opening OVA source: exported-vm.ova
The manifest validates
Opening VI target: vi://root@192.168.8.20:443/
Deploying to VI: vi://root@192.168.8.20:443/
Transfer Completed                    
Completed successfully

コマンドが成功すると、exported-vmという名前のVMが作成されている。

動作確認 (Embedded Web Clientを利用)

生成されたexported-vm.ovaをEmbedded Web Clientを利用してインポートしようとすると、以下のような「必要なディスクイメージが見つかりませんでした」という謎のエラーメッセージが表示される。

f:id:redj:20190208021258p:plain

一応インポートは成功するのだが、なんとも気持ちが悪い。 試行錯誤してみたところ、exported-vm.ovaの中に含まれるexported-vm.ovfの中の、nvramファイル関連の要素が影響していることが分かった。

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Envelope ... >
  <References>
    <File ovf:href="exported-vm-disk1.vmdk" ovf:id="file1" ovf:size="655692288"/>
    <File ovf:href="exported-vm-file1.nvram" ovf:id="file2" ovf:size="8684"/> ←●これ
(略)
      <vmw:ExtraConfig ovf:required="false" vmw:key="nvram" vmw:value="ovf:/file/file2"/> ←●これ
    </VirtualHardwareSection>
  </VirtualSystem>
</Envelope>

ネットで公開されているova形式のVMをいくつか見てみたが、どうもnvramは必須ではないように思える。 なので、これらの要素を削除して、exported-vm.ovaを再作成してみる

$ ovftool exported-vm.ova exported-vm.ovf
Opening OVA source: exported-vm.ova
The manifest validates
Opening OVF target: exported-vm.ovf
Writing OVF package: exported-vm.ovf
Transfer Completed                    
Completed successfully

$ sed -i -e '/nvram/d' exported-vm.ovf

$ rm exported-vm-file1.nvram

$ rm exported-vm.mf

$ ovftool exported-vm.ovf exported-vm-modified.ova
Opening OVF source: exported-vm.ovf
Opening OVA target: exported-vm-modified.ova

Transfer Completed                    
Warning:
 - No manifest file found.
 - No manifest entry found for: 'exported-vm-disk1.vmdk'.
Completed successfully

このexported-vm-modified.ovaはエラーなくEmbedded Web Clientでインポートできた。 ただ、ovftoolではnvramを削除しなくても正常にインポートできているし、ESXi 6.5のときのEmbedded Web Clientはバグが多すぎて使い物にならなかったという経験もあるので、この現象はEmbedded Web Clientのバグのように思える。

Source Locator Examples:

   /ovfs/my_vapp.ovf

   /vms/my_vm.vmx

   ~/my_vApprun_workspace/MyVm

   vi://username:pass@localhost/my_datacenter/vm/    \
      my_vms_folder/my_vm_name

Destination Locator Examples:

   /ovfs/my_vapp.ovf

   /vms/my_vm.vmx

   ~/my_vApprun_workspace/MyVM

   vi://username:pass@localhost/my_datacenter/host/    \
      esx01.example.com
   vi://username:pass@localhost/my_datacenter/host/    \
      esx01.example.com/Resources/my_resourcepool

   Note: the /host/ and /Resources/ part of the above inventory path are
         fixed and must be specified when using a vi destination locator.
         The /Resources/ part is only used when specifying a resource
         pool.
