Venkata Siva Vijayendra Bhamidipati commented on CLOUDSTACK-4055:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
This bug cannot be fixed at present with the latest version of vi sdk (which
Min had updated cloudstack to use) because vi sdk doesn't yet include Windows
2012 in its list of supported guest OSes. This cannot be fixed until the next
vi sdk version is released with the guest OS description list getting a new
enum for Windows 2012 Server. Until then, the OS description will show up as
Other (64-bit).
This list of guest OS flavors supported by vi sdk can be gleaned from the
following link for VirtualMachineGuestOsIdentifier enum list :
http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-51/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.wssdk.apiref.doc%2Fvim.vm.GuestOsDescriptor.GuestOsIdentifier.html
It looks like Windows 2012 was added to the guest OS list for all hypervisors
other than vmware as part of this commit:
commit c11dbad9c9ba7a876243ec02e90215906cfd9115
Author: Nitin Mehta <nitin.me...@citrix.com>

The commit cannot however work for VMWare deployments due to the reason stated
above.
After vi sdk introduces the enum for Windows 2012, this enum should be entered
into the file VmwareGuestOSMapper.java in the cloudstack code. This file
contains all the mappings of the Guest OS strings to be returned against OS
flavors, and currently this list contains Windows 8 64 bit, but not Windows
2012.
This bug can be resolved as of now. Will mark as cannot fix.

> Registered a Windows Server 2012 64-bit template in ACS and made sure Windows
> Server 2012 (64-Bit) was selected as the OS type when registering the
> template, however when we build an instance in CS it creates the OS type in
> VMware as Other (64-Bit). Running VMware 5.1.0 and have confirmed that the OS
> type is an available option in VMware.
