Description

Hello, I try to bind a vmk to an iscsi software adapter but iscsi manager don't have any attribute: dir(hosts[0].configManager.iscsiManager) ['class', 'delattr', 'doc', 'format', 'getattribute', 'hash', 'init', 'new', 'reduce', 'reduce_ex', 'repr', 'setattr', 'sizeof', 'str', 'subclasshook'] hosts[0].configManager.iscsiManager.QueryNetworkHint(None) Traceback (most recent call last): File "stdin", line 1, in module AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'QueryNetworkHint' iScsiHbaName = 'vmhba64' vnicDevice = 'vmk1' hosts[0].configManager.iscsiManager.BindVnic(iScsiHbaName, vnicDevice) Traceback (most recent call last): File "stdin", line 1, in module AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'BindVnic'

Any idea ? Thank you!

Research direction
The issue shows that `iscsiManager` is `None`, causing AttributeError on method calls. Investigate why the iSCSI manager is not available: check if the host supports iSCSI or if there is a missing connection step. Review the pyVmomi samples for correct usage of `QueryNetworkHint` and `BindVnic`. Since the issue has no activity, it may be a stale bug or a user environment problem.
