Hello,
I've experienced some issues over the last couple of years deploying a VM from a template in a workflow. In my custom workflow I power off and power on the VM a couple of times (DVPortgroup 'dynamic binding', OS configs, etc.) and occasionally vCenter migrates the VM to a new host. i'm a little OCD in the fact that I want to elimate all possible failures during the workflow. I discoved that I could disable DRS for the VM. While proofing this yesterday I was able to Add a VcClusterDrsVmConfigSpec to the Cluster however, I wasn't able to remove the VcClusterDrsVmConfigSpec from the Cluster; for when the deployment is complete.
Here's what we're running:
vCenter 4.1.0 (Build 345043) - they will be applying Update3 to the vCenter this weekend.
vCO 4.2.0 (Build 5277) - using vCenter plug-in 5.0.2
Using Onyx (2.1.4226) here is the code generated:
...
spec.drsVmConfigSpec = System.getModule("com.vmware.onyx").array(VcClusterDrsVmConfigSpec, 1);
spec.drsVmConfigSpec[0] = new VcClusterDrsVmConfigSpec();
spec.drsVmConfigSpec[0].operation = VcArrayUpdateOperation.remove;
spec.drsVmConfigSpec[0].removeKey = vm-451566;
...
When I try to pass 'vm.id' to 'removeKey', I get error: Task 'ReconfigureComputeResource_Task' error: A specified parameter was not correct.
Looking in the 5.0 plug-in API i see that 'removeKey' is Deprecated.
Using 'removeKey_IntValue' passing 'vm.id' or 'vm' or '451566' they all fail as well.
Is there something I'm missing when removing the VcClusterDrsVmConfigSpec entry?
Thank you for your help!
