datacenter.name?

[jfargen]

When I am trying to run:

$ vagrant up --provider=softlayer

I receive an error stating: Vagrant returned an exception while calling the SoftLayer API.

Exception class: XMLRPC::FaultException Exception message: Invalid value provided for 'datacenter.name'. A datacenter name or regional groupmust be provided.

I have tried uncommenting the value sl.datacenter = nil in my Vagrantfile, but this provided the same error. I also change the value from nil to dal09 and I also tried DAL09, but that just makes two new errors.

There was an error loading a Vagrantfile. The file being loaded and the error message are shown below. This is usually caused by a syntax error.

Path: Message: undefined local variable or method `dal09' for main:Object

Hello,

Please could you post your Vagrantfile?

The value must be a string type:

sl.datacenter = "dal09"

You can use the vagrant-softlayer-vlans tool in the contrib folder to get the acceptable datacenter names.

That works! Thanks for the pointer Julio!
