2022-06-11 17:29:22 Simon Poirier description jammy-server-cloudimg-amd64.ova does not create cdrom device when deploying on vsphere 7. VMware vsphere injects properties like user-data or ssh keys to the VM by means of an iso image mounted on the first CDROM device at boot. jammy-server-cloudimg-amd64.ova apparently does not include a cdrom in the OVF spec. In order to use the .ova image, a cdrom device has to be added before boot. Prior versions of ubuntu server (such as focal-server-cloudimg-amd64.ova) included the cdrom device in the OVF spec. So this is a change from prior practice. Wondering if cdrom could be included again. [Impact] * Ubuntu jammy OVA images will not have a CD-ROM drive by default when imported by vmware [Test Plan] * having the free vmware-player (or vsphere) * file: import the ova * open settings and check for the presence of the CD-ROM drive [Where problems could occur] * The change is limited only to the OVA template, so other image generation should not be affected * This is a revert to a previous bus mapping, prior to adding the serial port. From this bug, getting the bus mapping wrong will have vmware to keep discarding that config. * virtualbox doesn't appear to use that setting. There is a small risk that another hypervisor not mentioned here loses cdrom in the same way if it relies on the cdrom being only on a SCSI bus.
