hi,

Media_Gateway_3.2.0.752.ova:1: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found

looks like your file might be corrupted/invalid somehow.

do tar xvf Media_Gateway_3.2.0.752.ova and examine the extracted ovf file with cat Media_gateway_3.2.0.752.ovf

This file is properly working in VMware player

did you compare the checksums? that way you know if the file was transferred correctly.

I can able to create VM now but getting following error while starting the machine

looks like vg might be missing. possibly you didn't export/import all the disks.

what process are you following to create the VM?
