Troubleshooting

If your upload fails or your Technology Partner reports issues processing the file, check the following common causes.

Unsupported RVTools Version

OneIQ requires RVTools version 4.6.1 or later. Files created with older versions may have a different file structure or be missing required data sheets, causing the import to fail.

How to check: Open the RVTools application and check the version number in the title bar or the About menu. If the version is below 4.6.1, update RVTools to the latest version and re-export the data before uploading.

Edited or Modified Export Files

OneIQ expects the original, unmodified .xlsx file produced by RVTools. If the file has been opened and edited in Microsoft Excel or another application, the import may fail. Common modifications that cause failures include:

• Removing or renaming columns

• Deleting rows

• Removing entire worksheet tabs

• Re-saving the file in a different format (e.g. .csv or .xls instead of .xlsx)

• Adding filters, formatting, or formulas

Solution: Re-run RVTools against the vCenter or ESXi host and export a fresh, unmodified .xlsx file. Do not open or edit the file before uploading.

Wrong File Format

The file must be in .xlsx format. RVTools supports multiple export formats, but only .xlsx is accepted. If you exported as .csv, .xls, or another format, re-export from RVTools using the .xlsx option.

Upload Not Responding

If the upload button is not responding, confirm the file is in .xlsx format. Other file types are not supported and may cause the uploader to stall.

If the upload still fails after confirming the above, contact your Technology Partner and include the RVTools file so the team can diagnose the issue.
