title: Ovftool error "Unsupported value" when converting a virtual machine
body: <p>I get some ovf images. And I have a problem when I try to import on vSphere. I was looking at solutions but I could not find it. </p>
  
  <p>When I do a "deploy ovf template" on vCenter, I get an error:</p>
  
  <p><code>The OVF package requires unsupported hardware. Detail: line 26 unsupported hardware family 'vmx-08'.</code></p>
  
  <p>So I try to use the ovftool to convert a machine. When I try</p>
  
  <pre><code>ovftool E:\location\name.ova E:\location\vmx\name.vmx
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get a message like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware OVF Tool&gt;ovftool E:\location\name.ova E:\location\vmx\name.vmx Opening OVA source: E:\location\name.ova Opening VMX target: E:\location\vmx\name.vmx Warning:

   - Virtual machine has 24 virtual CPUs, but the host only supports 8. The number  of virtual CPUs may be limited by the guest OS selected for the virtual machine  or by the licensing for the host. Completed with errors
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Maybe I need to use some parameters like numberOfCpus, coresPerSocket, tt or viCpuResource. But I don't know how to use it and I can't find it. When I'm trying to set something I get an error  </p>
