Hi,

These 11 errors are kind of normal/expected. They are due to the workflow calling scripting actions that are part of VIX plug-in (which you most likely don't have installed in your vCO).

VIX -plug-in used to be available at https://labs.vmware.com/flings/vix-vco but it became obsolete with the release of vCenter 5 few years ago when the VIX functionality became part of vCenter API.

One option would be to look at scripting code inside extendGuestPartition workflow and try to re-implement the same functionality using currently available APIs/workflows/actions in vCenter plug-in (see eg. workflows under Library/vCenter/Guest operations) and guest script manager package available at https://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-25474

Another option is to try to find a copy of VIX plug-in somewhere, although I'm not sure whether it will work with vCO 5.5.2 or not.
