A template like this
-----------cut here-------------------
NAME = vm-vmware
VCPU = 1
MEMORY = 512
OS = [ ARCH = "i686" ]
DISK = [
source = "/tmp/iso" ,
target="hda",
bus="ide",
type="cdrom"
]
-----------cut here-------------------
generates a deployment file like this one
-----------cut here-------------------
<domain type='vmware'>
<name>one-559</name>
<vcpu>1</vcpu>
<memory>524288</memory>
<os>
<type arch='i686'>hvm</type>
</os>
<devices>
<disk type='file' device='cdrom'>
<source file='/tmp/iso'/>
<target dev='hda' bus='ide'/>
<driver name='raw'/>
</disk>
</devices>
</domain>
-----------cut here-------------------
The problem is the line that states <source file='/tmp/iso'/> while it
should state <source file='[datastore] path/to/iso'/> or something like
that.
I found that file "LibVirtDriverVMware.cc" does not generate the proper
datastore substitution, although ISO file is copied.
Is there any way to make isos work in vmware?
