Hi

Quick question: Can Uyuni provision new VMs using VmWare, or is that functionality restricted to Xen and Kvm?

Background:

We have a VCenter cluster running our vms.  By following the documentation here, I’ve successfully added Vsphere as a VHM and it’s populating correctly. (Thanks for the bugfix in the new Uyuni version that now does correctly display the Virtualization tab that allowed me to get further than last time I tried this)

But the “Create Guest” link as mentioned in the docs is absent.

Elsewhere in the official docs it does say

For VMWare, including VMWare vSphere, and Nutanix AHV, Uyuni requires you to set up a virtual host manager (VHM) to control the VMs. This gives you control over the hosts and guests, but in a more limited way than available with Xen and KVM.

But I’ve also found this on some unofficial documentation here that seems to give more specific guidance

Autoinstalling and managing {vmguest}s via Uyuni is limited to {xen} and {kvm} guests. 

Thanks,

Simon
