Hi Tino,<div><br></div><div>I have seen this page and in my case I only have one ESX host but I will try adding the requirements section to the template.</div><div><br></div><div>Here is what my template looks like:</div><div>
<br></div><div><div>NAME=VMwareVM</div><div>MEMORY=256</div><div>CPU=1</div><div>#NIC=[NETWORK="VMWareNet"]</div><div>DISK=[ source="WinXP_32bit_Dev",</div><div> clone="no",</div><div> save="no"]</div>
</div><div><br></div><div>And where I am lost is how to specify a VMware disk source. I have tried specifying the vmdk file the vmx file and now have the folder name assuming that the mount point is the NFS root directory. My nfs mount point is /export/vg0-lv0 and I have this WinXP_32bit_Dev folder containing an XP VMware image. This directory has the following contents:</div>
<div><br></div><div><div>root@xxxxx:/export/vg0-lv0# ls WinXP_32bit_Dev/</div><div>vmware-1.log vmware.log XP32bit-flat.vmdk XP32bit.nvram XP32bit.vmdk XP32bit.vmsd XP32bit.vmx XP32bit.vmxf</div></div><div><br></div>
<div>What am I supposed to specify in the DISK section of the template?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks in advance,</div><div>Jon</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Sep 9, 2010 at 1:08 PM, Tino Vazquez <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:tinova@fdi.ucm.es">tinova@fdi.ucm.es</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
Please find the basic attributes for a VMware VM template here [1]<br>
<br>
In order to force a particular VM template to end up in a ESX host,<br>
you can set the following within the template:<br>
<br>
---<br>
REQUIREMENTS="HYPERVISOR=vmware"<br>
---<br>
<br>
Looking forward to your feedback, we will delight to make our VMware<br>
documentation better, which I agree has room for much improvement.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
