I downloaded an OVA file from SDN-Hub, and used VMWare Player 11 to import it.
It came out with this error message:
Error while converting to a virtual machine:
Line 96:Unsupported element 'StorageItem'
Line 105:Unsupported element 'StorageItem'
Line 114:Unsupported element 'EthernetPortItem'
It's weird, because I downloaded the same file a few months ago in my other computer, and it worked well.

Select File > Import. Click Choose file and browse to the . ovf or . ova file and click Open.
VMware Workstation and VirtualBox are two virtualization applications that can open OVA files.
While VDI is specific to VirtualBox, the software is also compatible with Microsoft VHD/VHDX and VMware VMDK. This means that VirtualBox can run images with these file extensions as well. Using the Virtual Media Manager, VirtualBox allows you to create and copy VDI, VHD/VHDX, and VMDK virtual hard disks.
An OVA package is a single archive file, in the Tape Archive (tar) format, containing the files that comprise an OVF Package. OVF does not specify a disk image format. An OVF package includes files comprising virtual disks in the format defined by the virtualization product that exported the virtual disks.
Seems the problem is related to the OVF format, the virtual machine was exported using OVF 2.0
What I did to import it to vmware was to import the sdn-hub vm into virtual box and export it again using OVF format 1.0.
Then vmware was happy importing the machine, and just works fine
