Description

Using the vmware provider on 1.10.2, we are provisioning VMs using the API. If we use a compute profile, the VM does not start upon boot.

The JSON we POST to /api/hosts is something like:

{
"host": {
"compute_profile_id" : 46,
"ip" : null,
"hostgroup_name" : "mgmt/test",
"compute_resource_id" : 2,
"name" : "test01.example.com",
"build" : "true",
}
}

If I try the same host through the UI, it starts the VM properly after creation.

Thanks for the report, we're tracking this under ticket #10223.

It's possible to provide "compute_attributes":{"start":"1"} to workaround this problem, but on 1.10 you'd also need to supply all attributes from the compute profile as it overwrites them. In Foreman 1.11, the compute attributes from the API get merged into the compute profile.

Ah, thanks - I searched for one but didn't see that ticket. Thanks!

Ok, thanks. I do see that behavior. Looking forward to 1.11. Thanks Dominic!
