Hi,

Not 100% sure but if you run the VSA within the same cluster CS will kill i=
t every time you start it unless you deploy it from CS as a template.
So you will either need another host/cluster which runs this VSA for you or=
 you import it and deploy via CS onto a local storage then setup manually.

Regards

Yeah that too. :-) Sorry was looking at another installation when I was typ=
ing. :-)

Still would need to be setup with the ESX hosts before it is attached to th=
e cloud since CS doesn't natively manage the VMFS pool. That's what I was g=
oing after the most.

Thanks for getting me straight,
Matt=20
