Can't deploy a vm from a vm template

Support
1

Problem:
I want to deploy a VM from a VMware template.
I configure all the necessary stuff :
Compute resource,
image,
OS,
Finish template,

After settings details for the VM when I clikc on submit I got :

Failed to create a compute vcenter(VMware) instance drew-falacco.domain.net: undefined method `first’ for nil:NilClass

Expected outcome:
Should deploy a new vm based on the vm template.

Foreman and Proxy plugin versions:
1.18.0-1

Any idea on what is wrong ?

Hi @romgo,

Do you have a copy of the traceback from the /var/log/foreman/production.log or can you email me the foreman-debug? my email is chrobert at redhat.com

Hi

here is the the stack, seems that there is an issue with the datastore, like the webui doesn’t take in account my setting for the datastore.

While the error message is not identical, I think this may be the same issue as Bug #24320: Unable to provision on Vmware, no storage data submitted - Foreman which is fixed in 1.18.1. Can you try upgrading to that version and see if it is resolved?

Hi,

I upgraded to 1.18.1
Here is the new message :

Hello,

do you have any idea on what goes wrong here ?
I can do more test if needed.

Hi @romgo

Sorry about the delay, I was on PTO yesterday. Are you trying to add a 2nd disk to a storage pod/datastore cluster? If so I know that is an issue currently, here is what works and does not work with images.

Image:

Normal VM creation with single HDD on Local Datastore - Working
Normal VM creation with added HDD on Local Datastore - Working
Normal VM creation with single HDD on Storage Pod - Working
Normal VM creation with added HDD on Storage Pod - Not Working

Hello,

thank you for your feedback !
Well no I just try to deploy a VM from my image thats all.
I think I am in this situation :
Normal VM creation with single HDD on Storage Pod - Working

Just trying to replicate what I would do with vmware : deploy a vm from a template

Maybe I should upgrade to 1.19 an try again ?

10

I just checked, but doesn’t seems that 1.19 to be a stable release for you guys ?
So I’m not sure I should upgrade…

11

Hello @cintrix84 do you get any idea on my problem ?
Should I report a bug ?

12

@romgo

Sorry for the delay again, would you be willing to try a patch until 1.19 comes out?

13

1.19.0 has been released, the website wasn’t updated in time but it is now. No idea if that will fix the issue or not though, leaving that to @vmware team to determine

14

Hi @cintrix84

Yeah I can try the patch I’m just assessing foreman for the moment.
I’m not yet familiar with your releases, but from what I understood, 1.18.X and 1.19.X are both stable releases. So I’m not against testing 1.19 if you think this can help…

Regards,

15

Hello,

@cintrix84 any update on this ? How can I try ?

Thank you for you help !!

Regards

16

Oh, I just see that there is 1.18.3 is out. I’ll check with this version.

17

1.20.1 is already out, with 1.21.0 expected in about a month - so perhaps while you’re updating, might want to go to a more up-to-date version :wink:

18

@romgo

Did the upgrade help at all? If not let me know and I can pick this up again now that I am back from the holidays.

19

Hi,

I just give a quick test after my upgrade to 1.18.3-1
Template get cloned, but VM configuration doesn’t work.

20

@romgo Can you send me your user/finish template to configure the vm? You can either post it here or send it to me at chrobert@redhat.com
