Hi, I tried the following:
#uuid -v4 #b676d4a1-4794-4553-a667-44aac04fa80a #insert into guest_os values(204,6,NULL,"b676d4a1-4794-4553-a667-44aac04fa80a","Windows Server 2012 (64bit)"); #insert into guest_os_hypervisor values(266,"VmWare","Microsoft Windows Server 8 (64-bit)",204); After this I can select the 'Windows Server 2012 (64bit)' as OS type for my ISO but when the VM gets deployed its OS type is 'Other (64-bit)'. Then I tried to trick CloudStack and swaped the 'Other (64-bit)' and the new ' Microsoft Windows Server 8 (64-bit)' in the guest_os_hypervisor table but still no luck. Regardless my efforst I always end up with 'Other (64-bit)'. Is it possible at that time 3.0.2 came out was compiled with vmware API 5.0 that did not know the OS type "Microsoft Windows Server 8 (64-bit)" yet therefore it fails back to 'Other (64-bit)' by default if sees and unknown OS type?

Hi, I have managed a seamless upgrade from vSphere 4.1 to vSphere 5.0 Update 1 with cloudstack 3.0.2. vSphere 5 has a support for Windows 8 server 64 bit that works just fine but in CloudStack I'd need to add the OS support for it otherwise 'Other 64bit' does not work with it. I must explicitly select Windows 8 Server 64bit to make it work. I'm aware fiddling with the SQL database is not recommended/supported but I believe there is a way to inject some entries into the 'guest_os' table and choose those items in the dropdown box for ISOs/templates. Could anyone advise before I start doing some magic?
