container-service-extension CSE 2.6.0.0b1 & vCD 10.1 beta: Error creating the photon-v2_k8-1.14_weave-2.5.2

When attempting the CSE 2.6.0.0b1 installation in vCD 10.1 beta, I am getting an error when trying to create the photon-v2_k8-1.14_weave-2.5.2_rev2 template. The CSE installation log reports the following:

All the Ubuntu templates have been generated with no issues. I have been able to manually deploy a vApp with the photon-custom-hw11-2.0-304b817.ova vApp template that has been uploaded to the vCD 10.1 CSE catalog with no issues.

@m1gu3lg this looks like a vCD issue that we've experienced before with the photon templates. I've sent a message to the vCD team to confirm that this is the same issue. I think this should already have been fixed in a recent build, but i'll let you know once they get back to me.

Could you also share your entire vCD version including the build number? (in the 'About' section in vCD)

@andrew-ni , I'm using VMware Cloud Director version: 10.1.0.15560706 Fri Jan 31 23:18:07 UTC 2020

@m1gu3lg , I've confirmed with the vCD team that this is a bug found in some 10.1 builds. The build i'm using right now does now have the bug, and I can create all our templates.

my build: VMware Cloud Director version: 10.1.0.15716945 Wed Feb 26 06:45:21 UTC 2020

Thanks @andrew-ni. We will verify it when we install a new 10.1 beta build or the GA version. Is this issue also present when using CSE 2.6 on vCD 10.0.0.1?

Hi,

No, I don't think the issue is present in vCD 10.0.0.1.
