I have VSphere 6.7 with NSX-T managing some of the networks there. I'm trying to use the API to connect a new VM to an existing NSX-T network. The NSX-T networks all appear as Opaque Networks, as expected. So, I create a new "VirtualEthernetCardOpaqueNetworkBackingInfo", set the network type and ID, bundle it all up into a "VirtualMachineConfigSpec", and submit the request.
I get back the following error:
error = (vim.fault.PlatformConfigFault) {
dynamicType = <unset>,
dynamicProperty = (vmodl.DynamicProperty) [],
msg = 'An error occurred during host configuration.',
faultCause = <unset>,
faultMessage = (vmodl.LocalizableMessage) [],
text = 'OpaqueNetworkMgr IPC disabled'
}
I can't find any further information online about the "OpaqueNetworkMgr", or how I might enable IPC for it.
What does this error indicate? How can I fix it?
