Description

HI Guys,

I am trying to deploy an OVA and assign some params, but i am having issues adding the network map, I get an error "msg = 'The provided network mapping between OVF networks and the system network is not supported by any host.',"

The name of the interface and network are correct, this is the response i get back

networkMapping = (vim.OvfManager.NetworkMapping) [ (vim.OvfManager.NetworkMapping) { dynamicType = , dynamicProperty = (vmodl.DynamicProperty) [], name = 'LAN', network = 'vim.Network:530-SUP' } ], question i have, is the network part correct, should it be network = 'vim.Network:530-SUP' ? the network name on the host is 530-SUP

This is the code i am using to add mapping

Any pointers would be much appreciated cheers.

net_name = vim.Network('530-SUP') network = [vim.OvfManager.NetworkMapping(name='LAN', network=net_name)]

cisp = vim.OvfManager.CreateImportSpecParams(propertyMapping=opt, deploymentOption='enterprise', diskProvisioning='thin', entityName='Testing', networkMapping=network)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the correct way to create a vim.Network object for network mapping in pyVmomi. The user is using vim.Network('530 SUP') but the error suggests the format is incorrect. Check pyVmomi documentation or examples to see how network references should be specified in OvfManager.NetworkMapping.
