Hi Rajshree,
Your logic below is correct. nova-compute needs write access for the vSphere
API, so it is failing when run against a read-only API.

|
|
| I have installed vSphere Hypervisor (formerly known as VMware ESXi
| Single Server or free ESXi) which locked most of the product features of
| VMware.
|
| The nova-compute communicates with ESXi by using vmwareapi(VSphere API).
| Access to the vSphere API is governed by the various vSphere Editions
| which provides both read and write access to the API.
| As per my understanding the vSphere API is available as read-only for
| vSphere Hypervisor (free edition of ESXi).
|
| I think in my case nova-compute unable to launch VM instance as
| vmwareapi does not has write access and it throws an error current
| license or ESXi version prohibits execution of the requested operation.
| Or is there any other reason due to which nova-compute unable to launch
| instance?
|
| Please correct me if this assumption is wrong.
|
| Any ideas, or pointers in the right direction are welcome.
|
| Regards,
| Rajshree
