Install of vCloud Director 1.5 fails to set up ESXi 4.1U1 hosts

By mike 0 Software, Virtualware , ,

According to the install documentation, VMware vSphere 4 ESX and ESXi 4.1 update 1 are supported.

Install or upgrade to vCloud Director 1.5 will fail with the following error when trying to add the provider vDC:

Could not retrieve state for sequence: seq_os

This is easily fixed by editing the database table [os_id] and inserting the relevant information.

For ESX:

  • [os_type] = vmnix-x86
  • [name] = VMware ESX
  • [version] = 4.1.0
  • [update_level] = 1
  • [is_supported] = 1

And for ESXi:

  • [os_type] = vmnix-x86
  • [name] = VMware ESXi
  • [version] = 4.1.0
  • [update_level] = 1
  • [is_supported] = 1

then restart the setup of your provider vDC and you should be all set.
