[one-users] Incomplete information from hosts polling (VMWare ESXi 4.1 an OpenNebula 2.0.1)

[Luigi Fortunati]

I can post the VM template content on monday. However, as far as I remember,
the vm template was really simple:
NAME="Debian"
VCPU= 2
MEMORY=1024
DISK=[IMAGE="Debian5-i386"]
OS=[ARCH=i686]

The VMs can boot and run, I can log on console through vSphere Client on the
newly created VMs.

I noticed that if you don't declare the number on VCPU the VM doesn't get
scheduled on a cluster node. This option seems mandatory but I didn't find
any mention about it on the documentation.
Another thing that seems mandatory is declaring the cpu architecture as
i686, otherwise OpenNebula will return error when writing the deployment.0
file.
