AS4.1 with VMware System VMs
Hi,
My system VMs are being created with a SCSI controller rather than an IDE controller so they just come up with a screen that says 'GRUB' does anyone have any ideas why this might happen?
(I THINK I built a nonoss repo.)

Yeah,
You need to edit the parameters for the system VM in vCenter. Not pretty, but the default since 5.0 has been virtualized scsi.

I's really the delicate side of dealing with VMware. CloudStack has it's
hands tied do to vCenter control. I can tell you from experience working
with MORs and vCAPI, they don't play nicely or easily with the
structure/framework CloudStack has.

I should be able to, rolling my own system VMs isn't something I've played with yet. (there's a first time for everything :-) )
It'd be 'simplest' if CloudStack could specify an IDE disk upon creation though wouldn't it?

Hahaha, there you go whipping out the pro-solution.
Yes that works perfectly for a stopped VM, tested it right now.

RE: AS4.1 with VMware System VMs
Posted by Paul Angus <pa...@shapeblue.com>.
As an update:
I deployed the system vm directly from the system vm template OVA on an ESXi host, the changed the underlying disk architecture to SCSI and repackaged as an OVA.
I then ran the secondary storage system vm template script (pointing it at the new OVA).
The template was copied into secondary storage, system VMs booted and demo template downloaded - all good.
There is a global setting for IDE/SCSI disks on VMware in CloudStack, if this was honoured for system VMs then these steps wouldn't be needed?

Edit VM settings, notice the location of VMDK. Delete the disk from vm (but don't delete the data). Apply Edit VM setting, add a disk, choose IDE controller, choose the disk previously noted, apply, power-on.
