vCMP guest doesn't progress from Configured to Deploy state

Question

Hi,&nbsp;
We have recently purchased the F5 i5800 box which comes with vCMP on it. I have provisioned it and now I am at that stage where trying to create guests on it:&nbsp;
At "vCMP  ››  Guest List": I create a guest, like this snapshot: 
The problem is that guest doesn't progress from 'Configured' state to 'Deploy' state, I have tried that on the guest list page and it revert back to Configured. Is there anything that I am missing?&nbsp;
Thanks&nbsp;

You need to provision the guest before you can deploy it. 
The following description for the 'Deploy' state is from v12 but I believe it's still valid for v13.&nbsp;
ProvisionedWhen you move a vCMP guest to the Provisioned state, the system allocates resources (CPU, memory, network interfaces, and disk space) to that guest. The system also creates virtual disks for the guest and installs the selected ISO image on them. A guest does not run while in the Provisioned state.&nbsp;
