New VM from Template in Content library greyed out

Hello VMwarers,

I am following that KB Deploy Virtual Machine on a Host or a Cluster from a VM Template in the Content Library  but the New VM button is greyed out when I click on the VM Template

Any suggestions

Most of the time if the library is subscribed it wont allow you to deploy VM as an option would be grayed out.

Apparently, once you have a subscription attached to your CL, you can no longer deploy from the source CL.

Hi,

Do you have correct permissions?

Try assign the permission as Global Permission instead of permission at vCenter level:

  1. Log in to the vSphere Web Client with the Administrator@vsphere.local or an account holding SSO Administrative privileges.
  2. Navigate to Administration > Global Permissions.
  3. Click the Manage tab.
  4. Click the + icon to open the Global Permissions Root window.
  5. Click Add.
  6. From the Domain drop-down menu, select your respective domain which holds the user or group.
  7. After locating the group and pressing Add, click OK. Ensure that the user account is assigned the role Administrator
  8. Click OK.

Content Library button grayed out ("Create a New Content Library not available")
