We recently upgraded our venter to 7.03 and ESXI systems to v7.03 and this
issues has started rearing its ugly head. Basically the scenario is as
follows:
- Standard Switch with a port-group name that is the same as Distributed
Switch port-group name exists
- When deploying a new VM via vmware_guest module - the VM is deployed
to the Standard Switch, and not the Distributed Switch.
Example:
WormHoleNet on Standard Switch
WormHoleNet on Distributed Switch
Deployment code:
---
- name: Clone Virtual Machine(s) from Template
vmware_guest:
state: 'poweredon'
name: "{{ item }}"
hostname: "{{ provision_vcenter_hostname }}"
username: "{{ vcenter_user }}"
password: "{{ vcenter_user_pswd }}"
annotation: "{{ provision_notes }}"
template: "{{ vmtemplate }}"
datacenter: "{{ provision_vc_datacenter }}"
datastore: "{{ provisioning_datastore }}"
folder: "{{ vmfolder }}"
cluster: "{{ provision_cluster_target }}"
hardware:
num_cpus: 2
memory_mb: "{{ vmmemgb }}"
num_cpu_cores_per_socket: 1
hotadd_cpu: False
hotremove_cpu: False
hotadd_memory: False
nested_virt: False
scsi: 'paravirtual'
networks:
- name: "{{ network_zone }}"
type: "static"
ip: "{{ provision_ip_addresses }}"
netmask: "{{ subnet_mask }}"
gateway: "{{ default_gw }}"
device_type: 'vmxnet3'
dvswitch_name: "{{ vcenter_dvswitch }}"
start_connected: yes
wait_for_customization: 'yes'
customization:
domain: "{{ provisioning_ad_domain | lower }}"
fullname: 'blackhole'
orgname: 'startrek'
password: "{{ ansible_password }}"
timezone: '015'
dns_servers: 123.456.890
dns_suffix:
- quasar
- pulsar
cdrom:
type: 'none'
force: yes
...
I am getting the standard switch 'WormHoleNet' and not the distributed
switch 'WormHoleNet' -- this did NOT happen when we had 6.7U3 version of
ESXI / vCenter.
Any work arounds for this ?
