Hello VMC,
I have just joined the community after a few days of searching for Orchestrator answer to my questions. I am a new guy to VMWare and have started to learn VCO (vRealize). I have been doing a few mock setup here and there and so far so good.
I stumbled upon an issue, where I can easily clone a VM using the Orchestrator. However, I realized, it was a bit hard to add a network card to that cloned VM through Orchestrator. I need to add that new NIC to a distributed switch. So I searched for days on google. Most of the hits point me to this community Here are the things that I found:
===================================
createVirtualEthernetCardDvNetworkConfigSpec
createVirtualEthernetCardNetworkConfigSpec
===================================
I can easily find those 2 in my Orchestrator, but I can't seem to make it work. I am thrown with error:
Cannot convert com.vmware.vim.vi4.VirtualDeviceConfigSpec@94f5aa3e to com.vmware.vim.vi4.VirtualMachineConfigSpec (Workflow:Add VNIC to VM / Add VNIC (item1)#1)
===================================
Add a NIC
===================================
I have seen some topic here in the community about this action, but I can't seem to find it anywhere in my Orchestrator. I am running version 5.5.1.
So I guess my questions are:
1. Where can I download the "Add a NIC" action? I guess this is the easiest way for me to add a nic to a VM without tinkering on scripts. I have yet to learn scripting.
2. Are DvNetworkConfigSpec and NetworkConfigSpec actions pre-requisite to one another? How can I use these successfully for adding a new nic for an existing VM?
Apologies for the questions don't make sense. I am not used to speaking the language of a vmware person. But I do hope these make sense.
Thanks!
