Fair call Anthony for not having it in the UI. I think the bigger issue which we all forgot to point in the first place was CS not logging that the hosts were discarded for allocation because it lacked hvm capability whereas the template/iso required it. I had to read the code to figure that out

I think the global option would be best (easiest for majority of users). Also, the documentation for disabling HVM in the db (http://docs.cloudstack.org/Knowledge_Base/How_to_use_CloudStack_without_Hardware_Virtualization) should be updated as well to atleast mention the need to update template

We removed HVM from UI intentionally due to following reasons, 1. most users may not know what's HVM, it is confusing. 2. for vmware, it doesn't care about HVM, it can boot any OS on any x86_64 host. 3. for kvm, HVM support is required. So it is hard for user to configure hvm for template/iso. And

Celeb - could you please open a UI bug for this @ http://bugs.cloudstack.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa ? The UI should have an option to mark/unmark the template/iso hvm while registering it. The api already provides that. Thanks, -Nitin -Original Message- From: Caleb Call [mailto:calebc...

Yah, that's the problem. All the templates/ISOs uploaded through UI, are marked as HVM enabled by default, while your hypervisor doesn't support HVM, then you can't create VM. You can hack the DB, by "update vm_template set hvm=0", then try to create the VM again. But you need to make sure, your

I was wondering the same thing, but if using an ISO requires HVM support through Cloudstack. This is my test environment and it does not have HVM support. The OS I'm trying to load though is CentOS and/or Ubuntu...neither of which require HVM support. The reason I'm wondering if it requires H

If you are using advanced networking and working with VLANs then you could run the VPX in a XenServer host outside of the CloudStack but tie it into the same VLAN as the customers. The only issue with this is that you have to use an internal IP from the client allocation and hope that the DHCP w

I'm trying to create VMs using ISOs I've uploaded. The ISOs all say they are ready to be used and they show up fine during instance creation. However, once I create the instance, I get an error that says "Unable to create a deployment for VM[User|]". Looking through the logs, it seems like th
