Hi Mike, Yes, vCenter host & datacenter should be optional. UI is displaying them as optional (by not having red * against these text fields). There exists a bug related to this CLOUDSTACK-3460. Credentials of cluster are asked for each cluster. Idea is to let customers specify the credentials specific to a cluster. This could be handy for customer who have clusters managed by a specific role/user, if any, which is different from user specified for entire zone. +1 for making credentials fields as optional so that we consider customers who have single user managing all clusters in zone. In that case, we default to credentials specified at zone level i.e. the credentials provided while adding VMware DC to zone. For this I added ticket CLOUDSTACK- 3461 Hope that helps. - Sateesh > > > > > > > > Thanks for filling me in on this! > > > > > > > > -- > > > > *Mike Tutkowski* > > > > *Senior CloudStack Developer, SolidFire Inc.* > > > > e: mike.tutkow...@solidfire.com > > > > o: 303.746.7302 > > > > Advancing the way the world uses the > > > > cloud<http://solidfire.com/solution/overview/?video=play> > > > > *(tm)* > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > -- > > *Mike Tutkowski* > > *Senior CloudStack Developer, SolidFire Inc.* > > e: mike.tutkow...@solidfire.com > > o: 303.746.7302 > > Advancing the way the world uses the > > cloud<http://solidfire.com/solution/overview/?video=play> > > *(tm)*
