説明

Hi everyone,

I use [datastore] xxx/xxx.vmx as vm name, but a RuntimeError raised "Managed Object [xxx]xxx/xxx.vmx not found". And other question is for the parameter --unitnumber which means NIC number, where i can get it?

調査方針: Investigate the `change vm nic state.py` script to understand how it retrieves the VM object from the provided name. Check pyVmomi's `get obj` or similar function. The error indicates that the script expects a VM name, not a datastore path. Consider modifying the script to accept both or provide clearer error handling. Also research how to determine the NIC unit number from the VM's hardware configuration using pyVmomi, potentially by iterating over `vm.config.hardware.device`.
