Force vmware vm version

Support
1

Hi all!

Does anybody know how to force Foreman to create specified version of vm
(9 in my case) in vSpehere?
By default vSphere 5.5 creates vm version 10, on which I have issues with
CentOS, even after I configured compatability with 5.1 in vcenter server
for specified hosts/clusters.
I've tried to set different version of guest OS for vm, but vSphere all
time creates version 10.

Cheers,
Sergii

No, there isn't a way to set the VM version from Foreman at this time, but
there is an open issue on this:

Thanks,

Josh

Hi,

I quickly hacked something together, what kind of seems to work.

You need to patch fog and foreman:

https://github.com/mmoll/fog/commit/56f04b8479520dce44af3127972adb7838e0a43c
https://github.com/mmoll/foreman/commit/7cfe2fd35a4194418073d451411768253f006900

This is real rough and I'll be on the road for the next weeks, so I would
appreciate if somebody else could finish this.

Regards

https://github.com/fog/fog/commit/2041c0fd5d8c0f38a4e25a3aafa8bf46565105c5
is in fog master, so the next fog release will have it included.

For the Foreman changes, please see
https://github.com/theforeman/foreman/pull/1531

Testing/Feedback would be nice…
