Attempting to import an image-builder OVA file on vSphere fails with digest error

    • image-builder
    • None

      Issue:

      I created an OVA image using insights-builder in the hybrid cloud console. The resulting image appears to have the correct checksums in the manifest, however vSphere and VMware Workstation both error with "SHA digest of file image.vmdk does not match manifest".

      I can attach the OVA if that helps. Here are the contents:

      # ll
      total 2505132
      -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 169 Jul 10 17:04 image.mf
      -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 4092 Jul 10 17:04 image.ovf
      -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1282612224 Jul 10 17:04 image.vmdk
      -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1282631680 Jul 11 14:44 rhel9.ova
      ..
      # cat image.mf
      SHA256(image.ovf)= 7d764a2bf01a4755074e7de031ccefe7eb2f34650a3e016083dd362808454397
      SHA256(image.vmdk)= b5a514f64ef5c68efa6e1a4ac37e8e150ffe27c246fd8cb63c4c10ad728f50f3
      ..
      # sha256sum image.vmdk
      b5a514f64ef5c68efa6e1a4ac37e8e150ffe27c246fd8cb63c4c10ad728f50f3 image.vmdk

       

      Workaround:

      Deleting the manifest from the OVA file and trying the import again does work, but this is not an ideal workaround.

      Business Impact:

      Cannot import image-builder images into our infrastructure, which slows down our ability to deploy new RHEL VMs.
