Vm provisiong using custom image

Provisioning & Self Service

"Hey Morpheus team,
I have uploaded my custom Windows Server image in the Library > Virtual Images section. I have also created a node type, layout, and instance type, and defined the image in the node type. However, it is not provisioning. How can I resolve this issue? Please guide me.

The requirements for the templates can vary by cloud type. You may be able to find info to help in one of the getting started resources. For example this doc (for VMware) covers the requirements for the template, and the Morpheus Virtual image settings for Windows and Linux instance types.

There is also this detailed guide which is specific to VMware

i have followed the same procedure but when i create template of the vm from vmware i got three types of images first one is iso , second is vmdk and third is ovf which one should upload to Morpheus as virtual image and provision instance from this uploaded virtual image

i have created node type instance type and layout as well

If these exist in yoru vCenter, there is no need to directly upload any of these to Morpheus. Morpheus will inventory synced templates and make them consumable. Typically, you are selecting the VMDK as the deployment option.
