Windows Server 2012
Does anyone know where the prerequisites are listed for running Windows
Server 2012 in ACS 4.2?
I'm running:
vCenter 5.0 Update 1a
vSphere hosts at 5.0 Update 2
I'm seeing that when I upload a 2012 template and mark it as that, the vms
created have a guest OS type as "Windows Server 2008 R2 (64bit)" rather
than Server 2012 (or Windows Server 8).
Thanks,
Sean

Hey guys,
Thanks for that, it's helpful.
I was running vCenter 5.0 update 1a, which uses "Windows Server 8" after
upgrading to to vCenter 5.0 update 2 I can see Windows Server 2012 as a
guest OS type but now after deploying an instance in CloudStack I see it's
created the vm as "Other (64bit)" - any ideas on what's going on?
Cheers,
Sean

This is as expected, because VCenter does not have Windows Server 2012 as
one of its guest os enum type, see
http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/converter-sdk/conv50_apireference/v
im.vm.GuestOsDescriptor.GuestOsIdentifier.html.

I think, this limitation comes with vmware 5.0
If you install 5.1 (vsphere and vcenter too), then you can choose
windows 2012 on vmware console, but with 5.0, you cant.
This can be the problem for CS...
