VM provisioning using Forman
Description
Greetings,
Please be informed that I installed Foreman Version 1.8.0 on CentOS Version 7.1 and I have VMware ESX version 6.
I successfully have registered ESX to Foreman by creating "Compute resources" and then "Compute profiles"
When I try to provision VMs, I get this error "Unable to save mac value is blank!"
Please, I need to provision VMs in ESX using foreman but I don't have Vcenter.
Is there any work around for this issue?.
Regards,
Mostafa

vSphere is required for Foreman's VMware integration, see http://theforeman.org/manuals/1.11/index.html#5.2.9VMwareNotes, and existing issues #8528 and #1945.

Hi Dominic,
Thank you so much for your help. I have read your message, but Unfortunately i didn't understand what should i do because I am new in the Foreman technology but I would like to use it in our environment.
Could you please simplify, what should i do to solve the issue of "Unable to save mac value is blank!" ?
Please let me know, Is it mandatory to have Vcenter or these is a work around to solve this issue?
Thank you so much.
Regards,

It is mandatory for the VMware support. You should get it, or create the VMs manually, copy the MAC address down and then add them to Foreman as "bare metal" (not using VMware support) with the MAC addresses.
