Hello Expert Developer,
I am working on an automatic VM deployment project for vSphere. I am trying to reconfigure deployed VM and change the MAC address of its network adapter. Device type which is being edited is Vmxnet3. I am using the following code snippet to reconfigure the VM in php using VMWarephp library.
[code]
$deviceConfigSpec = new VirtualDeviceConfigSpec();
$deviceConfigSpec->operation = 'edit';
$deviceConfigSpec->device = new VirtualVmxnet3();
foreach ($configInfo->hardware->device as $device) {
if (get_class($device) == 'VirtualVmxnet3') {
$deviceConfigSpec->device->key = $device->key;
$deviceConfigSpec->device->controllerKey = $device->controllerKey;
$deviceConfigSpec->device->unitNumber = $device->unitNumber;;
$deviceConfigSpec->device->addressType = 'Manual';
$deviceConfigSpec->device->macAddress = $mac;
}
}
$configSpec = array('deviceChange' => array($deviceConfigSpec));
$vm->ReconfigVM_Task(array('_this'=>$vm->reference, 'spec'=>$co
[/code]
When this code is ran, I get the following error in vSphere Client's task list:
[code]
Incompatible device backing specified for device '0'
[/code]
I will appreciate if you can help me
Thanks in advance.
