Hi guys, 

A little further info on this, it appears when we use a corrupted template and 
UEFI/Legacy mode when deploy a VM, it breaks the connection between cloudstack 
and vCenter. 

All hosts become unreachable and basically the cluster is not functional, have 
not investigated a way to recover this but seems like a huge mess.. 
Please note that user is not able to register such template in vCenter 
directly, but cloudstack allows using it. 

Open to discuss if we'll fix this, since it's expected users to use working 
templates, I think we should be failing gracefully and such action should not 
be able to create downtime on such a large scale. 

I believe the boot type feature is new one and it's not available in older 
releases, so this issue should be limited to 4.14/current master. 

Thanks,
Bobby.

    I'll have to -1 RC3, we've discovered details about an issue which is 
causing severe consequences with a particular hypervisor in the afternoon. 
We'll need more time to investigate before disclosing.

        4.9.2 with KVM on CentOS 7 hosts 
        
        Also I've run basic lifecycle operations on the following components: 
        VMs
        Volumes 
        Infra (zones, pod, clusters, hosts)
        Networks 
        and more
        
        I did not come across any problems during this testing.
