    ########################################
    
    
    This error is misleading and does not describe the true
    problem.  In fact there is an OS partition defined but it
    cannot be found because the image disks are encrypted.  SCO
    (VIL) Virtual Image Library does not support encrypted disk
    images.
    
    
    We can do 2 things here to improve our error messaging:
    1) Report this message up to VIL UI
    2) Enhance the message providing something like:
    No OS partition found. Check image for disk corruption or disk
    encryption.
    

Local fix

  • None, you will need to use an image which does not have
    encrypted disks.
    
    To check if your OVA has encrypted disks, check the OVF
    descriptor inside the OVA (you can extract it).  You have an
    unsupported image if you see entries like this in the
    DiskSection:
    
    <Disk ovf:capacity="4" ovf:capacityAllocationUnits="byte * 2^30"
    ovf:diskId="cios" ovf:fileRef="cios.vmdk"
    ovf:format="http://www.vmware.com/interfaces/specifications/vmdk
    .html#stream Optimized" ovf:populatedSize="1123942400">
            <cloudburst:partition id="1" mount="/"
    ovf:required="false" type="encrypted"/>
    
    
    NOTE: type="encrypted"
    

Problem summary

  • There is a misleading error message when disks are encrypted. It
     should be improved so as to assist with faster troubleshooting.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The logged error message has been improved as follows: "No OS
    partition found. Check image for disk corruption or disk
    encryption."
