Hi Kirk, Good day to you, and thank you for your e-mail reply.
Can I confirm that the OS type determines the network controller as well? I read from CloudStack documentation that it's not advisable to use a lower version of the OS if the actual version is not available? http://cloudstack.apache.org/docs/en-US/Apache_CloudStack/4.2.0/html/Admin_Guide/create-template-from-existing-vm.html === Note: Generally you should not choose an older version of the OS than the version in the image. For example, choosing CentOS 5.4 to support a CentOS 6.2 image will in general not work. In those cases you should choose Other. === Looking forward to your reply, thank you. Cheers.
