----------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Chris,
Selecting Win 7/2k8 R2 to install Win 8 won't work - VMware has introduced new
enums in its latest 5.1 vsphere API to support newer Windows flavors.
Cloudstack uses an older vsphere API (4.1) to talk to vCenter and so this work
will involve incorporating the newer API calls in place of the older ones when
CS needs to talk to vsphere 5.1. Newer vmware api jar files will need to be
created too.
Regards,
Vijay
