Tino,
This is challenging:-)

I commented the driver section and now getting the error related to
CDROM. I suppose that this can be set in the template?
Thu Oct 18 07:53:00 2012 [VMM][I]: Command execution fail: /var/lib/one/remotes/vmm/vmware/deploy /var/lib/one/58/deployment.0 172.17.70.38 58 172.17.70.38

Thu Oct 18 07:53:00 2012 [VMM][I]: error: internal error Could not start domain: GenericVmConfigFault - The IDE device (disks/CD-ROM) configuration is incorrect. There is an IDE slave with no master at ide0:1. This configuration does not work correctly in virtual machines. Move the disk/CD-ROM from ide0:1 to ide0:0 using the configuration editor.
Since I want to solve the problem I edited the libvirt domain to change
the CDROM to use 'hda' instead of 'hdb'
<disk type='file' device='cdrom'>
<source file='[0] 58/disk.1.iso'/>
<target dev='hda'/>
<readonly/>
</disk>
Next I got the error related to 'other' issues:

out:
error: Failed to start domain one-58
error: internal error Could not start domain: GenericVmConfigFault -

On cloud-b-lab portal I read that this due bad thin provisioning
operation of the disk from the VM reference machine. But I did
vmkfstools with "-d thin" option.
The content of the vmx file is bellow. I'm curious if this might be
related to VM container type which should be guestOS = "windows7srv-64"?
