SR-01380856: CyberFlood Virtual / ESXi 5.5, Error: Failed to deploy OVF package. Invalid configuration for device '5'.

Customer reports unable to deploy CFv 2.1.6 to ESXi 5.5 host.

Issue reproduced on two separate ESXi 5.5 support lab hosts.
No error or issues deploying to ESXi 6.0 host. Only a problem on 5.5.

Googling the error, it seems that this can occur if the disk is left in virtual DVD drive when the OVA is exported, but that does not appear to be the case in this instance.

Hello, maybe it helps to try deploying from ESXi web UI client and/or Windows C# GUI.

Issue also occurs with CFv 2.1.8. I've been able to work around this in 6.0 with the above suggestion to use the WebUI after updating to build 3620759. Haven't been able to find a workaround in 5.5.

Have not yet been able to find a workaround for 5.5 and the error is consistent and reproducible.
