2 years ago RHCOS is based off RHEL8 or RHEL7 for older version. When running 4.11 as you are, it is based on RHEL8.

2 years ago I tried to install 4.10.16 with HW_Version:15, but it still deploy the OVF as 13, and the same error when creating bootstrap node Below is the log of deploying OVF

2 years ago Same here, using OVA 4.10.16 the vmx specifies rhel7_64Guest and HW version as 13. What's worse is the use of customvalues to set the ignition fails badly as VMWare reports that is not supported in this configuration without guest tools installed
"Customization of the guest operating system 'rhel7_64Guest' is not supported in this configuration. Microsoft Vista (TM) and Linux guests with Logical Volume Manager are supported only for recent ESX host and VMware Tools versions. Refer to vCenter documentation for supported configurations."

2 years ago Sorry this is a bit conflated with a secondary issue we found. The customvalues does not cause the error I mention, that issue is that they just get silently ignored and never set without any error.
The error I mentioned was cause by using the following key/values in my clone task:
networks:
- name: "{{ vcenter.network }}"
mac: "{{ item.macaddr | default(omit) }}"These variables are defined and valid, but the OVA does not have guest tools so setting these these network configuration parameters are not supported directly.

2 years ago To be clear the OVA used does have guest tools installed however they are not recognized in the ignition phase and this seems to be the reason for this error. We bypassed this issue by removing the network keys from vmware_guest task and create a new task using command/govc tasks to set these .

2 years ago Example:
- name: Add vmxnet3 Network to bootstrap
command: "govc vm.network.add -vm '{{ vcenter.folder_absolute_path }}/{{ item.name }}' -net {{ vcenter.network }} -net.adapter=vmxnet3"
loop: "{{ bootstrap_vms }}"
- name: Change network on bootstrap
command: "govc vm.network.change -vm '{{ vcenter.folder_absolute_path }}/{{ item.name }}' -net.address {{ item.macaddr | default(omit) }} -net={{ vcenter.network }} ethernet-0"
loop: "{{ bootstrap_vms }}"this issue is due to differences in Ansible version being used, follow the README for version requirement, and this should no longer be an issue
Hi, I hit a bug on vSphere 6.7u3, the error msg is
Below is my groups/all.yml file
I found that the OVF is always deployed as version 13 and RHEL7 rather than version 14 and RHEL8, may I know whether it is correct?
I tried to manually change the OVF to RHEL8 and version 14, but still fail to create new VM
