The following manifest file entry (line 1) is invalid: SHA256

今天从本地的VMware Workstation导出的VM ovf文件在导入到VSphere Client集群时报错：

The OVF package is invalid and cannot be deployed.
The following manifest file entry (line 1) is invalid: SHA256 (xxxxxxx.ovf).

原因是vSphere Client不支持SHA256哈希算法，查询官方文档找到了解决方案

1、下载VMware-ovftool-4.3.0-7948156-win.x86_64.msi

https://www.vmware.com/support/developer/ovf/

并安装

2、从Workstation导出ova文件(导出时改后缀)，打开cmd，切换到ovftool安装目录，执行以下命令：

ovftool.exe --shaAlgorithm = SHA1 /path/to/the/original/ova_file.ova /path/to/the/new/ova/file-SHA1.ova

注意：

/path/to/the/original/ova指导出的ova文件存放处

/path/to/the/new/ova指准备存放转换后的ova文件目录

file-SHA1.ova转换后的ova文件名称
