Hi,
I am trying to deploy a new Centos 6.X 64-bit guest using a customization spec. I have built the reference VM with a single ext3 partition and a swap partition. I have installed the version of VM Tools that is listed as Current. When I attempt to use the Customization Spec I have prepared the selection is greyed out with the message:
"Customization of the guest operating system 'centos64guest' is not supported in this configuration. Microsoft Vista and Linux guests with a Logical Volume Manager are support only for recent ESX host and VMware Tools versions"
I am running:
vCenter 5.0 build 913577
ESXi 5.0 build 914586
The guest does not use an LVM. Here is the output of "parted -l"
Model: VMware Virtual disk (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 107GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos
Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
1 1049kB 101GB 101GB primary ext3 boot
2 101GB 107GB 6443MB primary linux-swap(v1)
I've review the Linux guest requirements and haven't been able to find out what I am doing wrong here. Can someone please point me in the right direction?
