Hmmm, shouldn't you be using the xxx-scsi.ova file, not the xxx-ide.ova? Also, have you checked this out? https://devcentral.f5.com/s/feed/0D51T00006i7XgWSAU. You may need to edit the ovf file (you'll need to unzip the ova first) if the above don't help and try and work out what needs to be removed, disk-wise. See here for info on regenerating the hash (if it causes issues): https://frgtech.wordpress.com/2013/05/25/uncompress-a-vmware-ova-and-modify-its-vm-version/
