Templates Disappear after upgrade from 3.0 to 3.5

[ElGarufo]

Hi People,

An upgrade from Virtual Infraestructure 3, to 3.5....only one virtual center, and one esx. No problem with resource pools, and virtual machines...but, the templates had dissapear. I had it in the phisical storage, i can browse it, but it doesnt appear in the virtual center console.

I saw that to make an upgrade of templates, you can go to Administration> Upgrade Templates, but in my case, this doesnt exist.....

any idea???...thanks...

I still haven't upgraded to 3.5 (still got that to look forward to so this may be no good) but is it not possible to readd the templates as in 3.01 by browsing the data stores and right click on the .vmtx file and add to inventory. I would be interested to know?

We run into the same problem and this is exactly what we did (ie: Browse the datastore and add the template to the inventory) and everything is back to normal.

Well, in my case, when I browse the datastore, the option to add to invwentory its not posible to be selected, its on grey....any ideas?

[Isael]

That's weird! Can you rename the .vmtx to .vmx and import the VM in the inventory?

[ElGarufo]

Well, its ok now, just a mistake from me....its like Isael says, no problem

thank you :smileyblush:
