Note
(VMware only) After upgrade, whenever you add a new VMware cluster to a zone that was
created with a previous version of CloudPlatform, the fields vCenter host, vCenter Username,
vCenter Password, and vCenter Datacenter are required. The Add Cluster dialog in the
CloudPlatform user interface incorrectly shows them as optional, and will allow you to proceed
with adding the cluster even though these important fields are blank. If you do not provide the
values, you will see an error message like "Your host and/or path is wrong. Make sure it's of the
format http://hostname/path".
