Doc Text:	In the previous version of CloudForms, cloning a VMware template failed when the target datacenter was nested below multiple folders. This was because if the datacenter was nested logically under various folders, users were unable to find the placement ID during an autoplacement VMware provision request. This fix always does a lookup of the folder path from the host datacenter instead of statically setting a possible wrong default value which has resolved the issue.

Not alive anymore . 
All appliance stay for a day or two max (until they hit the SWAP memory issue, once they hit SWAP we have to kill them )

I will try and recreate on another appliance .
