Convert virtualbox to vmware

The correct solution to this is to export as ovf v1 either from the UI, or when running an export from the command line it appears to default to v1.

vboxmanage import futsy-v2.ova

A vm's name can be different than the OVA name

vboxmanage list vms

VM_NAME from listing above

vboxmanage export VM_NAME -o futsy-v1.ova

--lax option basically tells the ovftool not to fail on errors, just make them warnings

ovftool --lax futsy-v1.ova futsy-v1.vmx

This should import and work without issue in VMware Workstation/Fusion/ESXi.
