[one-users] OpenNebula 3.8.3 Failed to Delete VM on ESXi Host

[Tino Vazquez]

Hi Chen Xiang,

You are right , there are several bugs in the 3.8.3 VMFS drivers. I
recommend updating to 3.8.4 at least, and ideally to 4.0.1.

About the permissions problems, you should create an ESX user
'oneadmin' with the same UID as 'oneadmin' in the front-end.

Hope it helps,

-Tino
