Any one seeing this also::
Powercli version 12.7
Delpoy new vm
Get-ContentLibraryItem –Name WS2022 | New-VM –Name vmname -datastore datastorename -ResourcePool clustername
Fails
New-VM An error occurred while trying to retrieve the content library item VM template info. For more details check the inner exception.
Deploying (existing) 2016 an 2019 content library items) works fine.
Deploying 2022 template with/in vcenter (GUI) works fine also.
In the error you see things about the guest_os, so I changed the guest os in the 2022 template to 2019.
Deploy with powercli is now working
Did I run into a bug?
