Most of the systems do not have pgzip installed as required by the export_lpar.ksh script.

Compressing file: /image/skytap-aix72.ova
./export_lpar.ksh[182]: ./pigz: not found.
mv: 0653-401 Cannot rename /image/skytap-aix72.gz to /image/skytap-aix72.ova:

Attempting to export my LPAR reports everything is fine:
