This issue is a side effect of a Trillian infrastructure problem, not a
CloudStack bug.
### Root Cause
The VMware `80u3e` template used by Trillian has an expired evaluation
license (expired August 12, 2025). This causes ESXi hosts to fail to be added
to vCenter during environment provisioning, resulting in a CloudStack zone with
a VMware cluster but no hypervisor hosts.
Without hosts in the cluster, CloudStack cannot:
- Register templates (no hosts to process them)
- Deploy VMs
- Perform any VMware-related operations
### Evidence
- Jenkins console output shows the failure when adding hosts:
```
10:44:06 failed: [localhost -> localhost]
(item=ref-trl-10800-k-Mr8-marco-sinhoreli-esxi1) => {"failed": true, "item":
"ref-trl-10800-k-Mr8-marco-sinhoreli-esxi1", "msg":
"'vmodl.fault.NotEnoughLicenses' object has no attribute 'thumbprint'"}
10:44:21 ...ignoring
```
- vCenter logs confirm the license expiration:
```
The VMware VirtualCenter Server license key has expired.
Its expiration date is 2025-08-12T00:00:00Z
```
### Resolution
I manually remediated the environment by:
- Applying a valid license in vCenter
- Adding ESXi hosts to vCenter manually
- Re-adding the VMware cluster to CloudStack with proper credentials
- Adding VMware primary storage
After these steps, the environment works correctly and templates can be
registered.
### Workaround
Use `VMWARE_VER=70u3` or `VMWARE_VER=80u3` instead of `80u3e` when creating
VMware environments. These templates have valid licenses and work correctly.
