Introducing new OS support?

[Tamas Monos <ta...@veber.co.uk>]

Hi,

I was trying to introduce new OS support for our deployed 3.0.2.
I tried on the users list but no one could come up with anything regarding how an administrator could inject new OS support for CS.

I've tried the followings so far:

#uuid -v4
#b676d4a1-4794-4553-a667-44aac04fa80a
#insert into guest_os values(204,6,NULL,"b676d4a1-4794-4553-a667-44aac04fa80a","Windows Server 2012 (64bit)");
#insert into guest_os_hypervisor values(266,"VmWare","Microsoft Windows Server 8 (64-bit)",204);

After this I can select the 'Windows Server 2012 (64bit)' as OS type for my ISO but when the VM gets deployed its OS type is 'Other (64-bit)'.

Then I tried to trick CloudStack and swaped the 'Other (64-bit)' and the new ' Microsoft Windows Server 8 (64-bit)' in the guest_os_hypervisor table but still no luck.
Regardless my efforst I always end up with 'Other (64-bit)'.

Is it possible at that time 3.0.2 came out was compiled with vmware API 5.0 that did not know the OS type "Microsoft Windows Server 8 (64-bit)" yet therefore it fails back to 'Other (64-bit)' by default if sees and unknown OS type?

Regards
