Description
I'm using the official Ubuntu focal cloud image in ova format downloaded from
https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/focal/current
I try to import it with the command:
VBoxManage import focal-server-cloudimg-amd64.ova --options importtovdi --vsys 0 --vmname focal-osm11 --memory 8192 --cpus 2 --eula accept --unit 9 --ignore
Note: I use the importtovdi to be able to resize the disk
I get the following error
