Hi Traiano, in addition to Tim¹s points, have you configured a new cluster / pod for the VMware resources? Have a look at http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/projects/cloudstack-installation/en/4.5/h ypervisor/vsphere.html . In particular make sure you understand the use of system IP addresses - for VMware each VR requires an IP address in the management IP range, compared to XenServer which uses link-local IP addresses.
