[one-users] how to define guestOS in template?

[Tino Vazquez]

Hi Michael,

AFAIK, there is no mechanism in libvirt (used by ONE to interact with
the ESX 5 host) to pass this sort of information.

Nevertheless, you can change the relevant line in .vmx file (in the
ESX host, it should be under /vmfs/volumes/0/<vid>/one-<vid>.vmx) to
read:

guestOS = "Windows-64"

This is seems an interesting feature, I've openend a ticket [1] to
keep track of its integration in future OpenNebula releases.

Best regards,

-Tino
