Problem with PUT /vApp/{id}/networkConnectionSection

[aturli]

Hi,

I'm having problem in using this API call:

PUT /vApp/{id}/networkConnectionSection that should modify the network connection section of a VM.

I'm getting

Unable to perform this action. Contact your cloud administrator.

Is there any pre requisites that I'm missing?

Thanks,

Andrea

The interesting part is that if I use

GET /vApp/{id}/networkConnectionSection

the retrieved NetworkConnectionSectionType is not valid if I use it to modify the networkConnectionSection

PUT /vApp/{id}/networkConnectionSection

Here's the exception

Bad request

Unexpected JAXB Exception - cvc-complex-type.2.4.b: The content of element 'ns2:NetworkConnection' is not complete. One of '{"http://www.vmware.com/vcloud/v1.5":IpAddressAllocationMode}' is expected.

Thoughts?

Can you paste the XML you're receiving when getting the networkConnectionSection?

[aturli]

Sure, here's the XML that returns GET /vApp/{id}/networkConnectionSection call:

<ovf:Info>Specifies the available VM network connections</ovf:Info>

    <PrimaryNetworkConnectionIndex>0</PrimaryNetworkConnectionIndex>

    <NetworkConnection network="orgNet-cloud-External-default+http" needsCustomization="true">

        <NetworkConnectionIndex>0</NetworkConnectionIndex>

        <IpAddress>192.168.2.100</IpAddress>

        <IsConnected>true</IsConnected>

        <MACAddress>00:50:56:01:07:7b</MACAddress>

        <IpAddressAllocationMode>POOL</IpAddressAllocationMode>

    </NetworkConnection>

</NetworkConnectionSection>

Thanks,

It looks like <IpAddressAllocationMode> element is present in the response. So for some reason it dissappears from the subsequent request. Can you explicitly set it before sending the request?

Thanks Todor Todorov,

my mistake, I was looking up for `pool` rather than `POOL`

Thanks to help me in spotting my error.

Thanks,
