Unfortunately, I don't have a 5.X ESXi or vCenter instance. I can't verify or recreate this, and I won't have that version anytime soon. I'll label this as a 5.x issue, but I don't think we'll have a fix anytime soon. That's not saying that if someone figures out the PR to fix this without breaking 6.0+ compat, I'd love to get it merged.
Thanks for the report!
@IcedGoblin I believe this is a problem within VSphere itself. I have seen this issue even when not leveraging chef-provisioning-vsphere. What version of distributed switch are you using?
Not sure if this applies to the current state of the code here, but try adding this into "driver.rb" > def clone_vm(action_handler, bootstrap_options, machine_name) right after "vm = vsphere_helper.find_vm(vm_folder, machine_name)"
# fix network not connected after clone
dnic = vm.config.hardware.device.grep(RbVmomi::VIM::VirtualEthernetCard).find{|nic| nic.props}
if dnic[:connectable][:startConnected].eql?false
puts "Switch cloned NIC to: Connect at power on"
dnic[:connectable][:startConnected] = true
dnic[:connectable][:connected] = true
dnic[:connectable][:allowGuestControl] = true
spec = RbVmomi::VIM.VirtualMachineConfigSpec({
:deviceChange => [{
:operation => :edit,
:device => dnic
}]
})
vm.ReconfigVM_Task(:spec => spec).wait_for_completion
end

Platform Details
Scenario:
Trying to deploy / clone a Windows Server 2012 R2 virtual machine from a template using Test Kitchen configuration and customization.
Steps to Reproduce:
In the VM template that we are using the network is set to the only network that the cluster has. This is a VMware Distributed Switch / port group with static binding. Whether we set the desired network within the customization section of the
.kichen.yml
file or leave it out the result is the same.Expected Result:
The network should be connected in both the Virtual Machine settings and in the guest OS.
Actual Result:
Once the virtual machine comes up the network is disconnected i.e. in VM settings under Network adapter 1> Device Status the
Connected
andConnect at power on
boxes are unchecked and the network status within the guest OS is showing as unplugged.Possible related issues:
