Cause
This issue occurs when an incorrect ovf capacity size is specified in the OVF file that is being deployed.
Resolution
To resolve this issue, increase the disk size in the OVF file to match the size of the vmdk in the OVF.
To increase the disk size in the OVF file to match the size of the vmdk in the OVF:
Navigate to the location of the OVF fileOpen the OVF file using the text editor, and locate these tags: <DiskSection> </DiskSection> Within this section, change the ovf:capacity="XXXXX" to the correct size of the vmdk(s) The default size is on bytes, you can have it in MB by doing this: ovf:capacityAllocationUnits="byte * 2^20" or: "byte * 2^30" for GB. Additional information: ovf:CapacityAllocationUnits:, default bytes. "KB", "KILOBYTE" or "byte * 2^10". "MB", "MEGABYTE" or "byte * 2^20". "GB", "GIGABYTE" or "byte * 2^30". "TB", "TERABYTE" or "byte * 2^40". Refer: https://wiki.abiquo.com/display/ABI38/OVF+Reference Ensure all the disks show correct sizeSave and close the fileDeploy the OVF again
