All of VMware products - VMware Workstation, Player, Server, Fusion, ESX, ESXi support the vmdk file format. (vmdk format was originally developed by VMware and is an open format now). The vmdk file is the disk image of the virtual machine, VMware Workstation or VirtualBox.

The package contained Module.mf, Module.ovf and Module-disk.vmdk and a Module.ova file. The instructions were to take the available package and launch the VM with VMware workstation. The vendor instructions were to import the ova file in vmware Workstation, Player for Windows/Linux, Fusion for Mac, and VirtualBox as well. Recently we got a OVA file for a virtual machine. ![]()
