Those values for the VMware host computer are never used in the test environment explained on that page because vcld isn't actually provisioning the VMware host as it normally could/would via xCAT if xCAT is used. You are manually installing VMware on the same computer being used as the management node. An entry still needs to be added to the computer table for the VMware host. vcld uses this entry to know which host to connect to and run the VMware Server control commands. The type and provisioning engine values can be set to anything and it shouldn't matter.

The VMware guests however, must be set to:
Type: virtualmachine
Provisioning engine: VMWare Server Provisioning

Thanks
Another doubt, I must fill it with:
      Type: blade
     - Provisioning engine: xCAT 1.x
even if I don't use this?
I use VMWare Free Server.

Hello,
The instructions on that page led you to encounter a known issue if a
computer is added in the maintenance state:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VCL-189

I have updated the page to instruct you to add the computer in the
available state.  Please try to add the computer again.

Hi Dears,

I was following this instructions here(

http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/VCL/Configuring+a+Standalone+VMware+VCL+Environment
).
More specifically this:
Add VM host computer:

  - Manage Computers -> Edit Computer Information -> Submit -> Add
     - Hosthame: localvmhost
     - IP Address: 192.168.0.1 (NOTE: there is currently a bug restricting
     the size of the field, so hopefully one octet has less than 3
digits.)
     - State: maintenance
     - Owner: admin
     - Platform: i386
     - Schedule: VCL 24x7
     - RAM: 1024
     - No Processors: 1
     - Processor Speed: 2000
     - Network Speed: 100
     - Type: blade
     - Provisioning engine: xCAT 1.x
     - Computer Groups: all vm host computers


And I got this error:
