It's know to work. But it's not supported.

Sorry, I have to say that.

i am configuring the vm and it tries to put all muy vcenter hosts in manintenance mode? what is it doing? I have live running machines on these hosts, why is it trying to put all my esx hosts into maintenance?

[mreferre]

Does that happen when you create the first Provider vDC and you try to "prepare" the hosts? Older releases installed an agent on the hosts that required it to reboot. I don't remember whether the later releases still required the reboot. That's the only thing I can think off.

We typically suggest to test it in a non production / pristine environment (morever if you are testing / playing with unsupported modules like CentOS I would say).

Its installing the vCloud agent, which is required on all hosts.

[tdubb123]

so all hosts in vcenter needs to be in maintenance mode first?

the vcloud vm will need to be managed by a difference vcenter?

You should separate vCloud resources (hosts in a cluster) and Mangament resources (host in another cluster).

Then the vCloud agent will only be installed on the vCloud cluster if you were using the same vcenter for both environments.

I recommend though having a separate vCenter for the vCloud resources.
