Bug #30481
openunable to build VMs on VMware with NSX
Description
Description of problem:
When building a VM on a VMware compute resource with a NSX logical network we get the following traceback:
Could not find virtual machine network interface matching 000-mindy-smack.example.org
When applying the following patch from upstream:
https://github.com/fog/fog-vsphere/commit/055fb8c7a6679780f3856516c74515580a043231
We get wrong number of arguments (given 2, expected 1)
I did a remote session with the customer and looked in the database and it appears satellite/fog-vsphere is not familiar with NSX networks.
We can see that it finds a network and treats it as a standard portgroup:
interfaces=>[ <Fog::Vsphere::Compute::Interface
mac=nil,
network="network-o2246621",
name="Network adapter",
status=nil,
connected=nil,
summary="VM Network",
type=RbVmomi::VIM::VirtualVmxnet3,
key=nil,
virtualswitch=nil,
server_id=nil
>]
But we should have some additional network parameters for NSX.
When we have a network that is on a distributed switch we see it as the following:
networkname(distributed switch)
This customers network was in there as a standard switch which just shows up as `networkname`
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Satellite 6.7
vSphere 6.7
NSX v4
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Satellite 6.7
2. Connect vCenter that has NSX installed as compute resource
3. Try to build a VM
Actual results:
Could not find virtual machine network interface matching 000-mindy-smack.example.org
Expected results:
VM to build correctly

- Found in Releases 3.2.0 added
I was also experiencing an issue building VMs on NSX networks, though the versions have changed a bit since this issue was created. I was able to make it work
I'm using Foreman 3.2 which uses fog-vsphere 3.5.0
I changed fog-vsphere/lib/fog/vsphere/models/compute/interfaces.rb line 14 ( ref https://github.com/fog/fog-vsphere/blob/master/lib/fog/vsphere/models/compute/interfaces.rb#L14 )
From this:
load service.list_vm_interfaces(server.id)
to this:
load service.list_vm_interfaces(server.id, server.datacenter)
