Issue/Introduction
- When we are using the VM-Template on content Library to deploy a VM, We cannot change the network when customizing the hardware. The page keeps loading and it never fails.
- If we uncheck the Hardware customization and deploy VM, the task completes successfully.
- The VM deployment is successful using the same template from vCenter server inventory.
Environment
vCenter server 7.x
vCenter server 8.x
Cause
When the network type is changed by clicking on browse in the Customize Hardware page on the Deploy Vm from vmtx in library wizard, on clicking Next, the page gets stuck. This is because networkAdapter is a property that is needed but is not sent to the createEthernetDeviceSpec.
Also, when going next and back from the Customize Hardware page, the form values get messed up because the recreateComponent is set to true for the page. Because of this, even the unmodified form values are marked as modified.
Resolution
This issue is fixed in latest patch for the vCenter server 8.0.3 PO5
When we customize hardware page become unresponsive during VM deployment from a VM Template in a content library. In the Customize hardware step of the wizard to deploy VMs from a VM Template in a content library, if you change the network adapter to a distributed port group, the page becomes unresponsive.
Workaround: To deploy VM from vCenter server inventory using the same template.
