  It appears that .ovf file contains serial port configuration.
        <Item ovf:required="false">
          <rasd:AutomaticAllocation>false</rasd:AutomaticAllocation>
          <rasd:ElementName>serial0</rasd:ElementName>
          <rasd:InstanceID>4</rasd:InstanceID>
          <rasd:ResourceSubType>vmware.serialport.device</rasd:ResourceSubType>
          <rasd:ResourceType>21</rasd:ResourceType>
          <vmw:Config ovf:required="false" vmw:key="yieldOnPoll" vmw:value="false" />
        </Item>

  OVF file shouldn't include serial port:

  I was able to deploy the cloud image after removing serial port
  configuration from the ovf file.
