Hi all,
I'm a newbie in Cloud foundry and I would loke to try to setup in on vsphere to begin, before trying on AWS.
So on vSphere, I meet an issue at install time
I tried with the default ruby version included in Centos 7.3, and also ruby 2.1.10 and ruby 2.4.0
The user used by boshinit is full admin on vcenter.

But I keep get the same error.
templates/cpi.json.erb' for vsphere_cpi/0 (line 38: #<NoMethodError: undefined method `each' for "ch00clf":String>) (RuntimeError)
ch00clf is the name of the vsphere cluster to use to deploy cloudfoundry
The bosh.yml file contains :

vcenter: &vcenter
address: xx.xx.xx.xx
user: xxxx
password: xxxxxxxx
datacenters:
- name: CloudFoundry
vm_folder: Bosh-community-vms
template_folder: Bosh-community-stemcells
datastore_pattern: DS00*
persistent_datastore_pattern: DS00*
disk_path: boshdisks
clusters: ch00clf

agent: {mbus: "nats://nats:nats-password(a)10.252.21.223:4222"}

See log below
Thanks a lot.

Looks like you ve placed cluster name (string) where it was expecting an
array. Check out example in this section:
https://bosh.io/docs/vsphere-cpi.html#resource-pools. We should probably
improve the error message. Story:
