Failure on Customize virtual machine guest OS

[nsajepi]

While building a VM I am running into the following error during Customize virtual machine guest OS stage:

"A specified parameter was not correct: spec.nicSettingMap.adapter.ip.ipAddress"

My environment is composed of vRA 7.3, vRO 7.3 and vCenter 6.5. Does anyone know a solution to this issue?

Thanks.

Show your vCenter customization spec and what you have defined in the network portion.

[nsajepi]

Here is what I have:

[daphnissov]

Select "Use standard settings". You don't need to tell it to use DHCP here if you're doing that through vRA.

[nsajepi]

I just tried "Use standard network settings" but got the same error.

[daphnissov]

What are you doing as part of that provision workflow?

[nsajepi]

This was part of guest OS customization.

[daphnissov]

Convert your template to a VM and check the configuration of your vNIC. Ensure it is connected to a valid port group. You may need to flip the setting around.

[nsajepi]

Thanks. I will give that a try.

It looks like the issue was with "VirtualMachine.Network0.Address" which was coming out empty.

This issue is resolved now. Thank you very much for your support.

Do you mind sharing how this was resolved? I am deploying ubuntu template with vRA 7.6, the vm get an IP and subnet but wrong gatway. RHEL VM's work without any issues
