Hi Snobear,
first of all, very good job for this tool .
I' have a problem only when i clone template with vcenter6.0 ( clone with vcenter5.1 is OK)
This problem appear only with the "clone" args ( list , status ...is OK)
Message return when i clone my template:
...

my setup:

ezmomi 0.4.2 with requirements
Any ideas ...
Thank's
Hello,
Same issue here :/
@snobear , have you got an answer for this issue ?
Thanks
Hi Snobear,
I test with the latest pyvmomi 6.0.0 / ezmomi 0.4.2 , but I have similar errors +
...
pyVmomi.SoapAdapter.ParserError: 'xml document: \x1f\x8b\x08\x00\x00\x....
.....\x91\xf2>\x00\x00 parse error at: line:1, col:0'
all ezmomi list --type xxxx command is OK
Is somebody have test clonig a template on vcenter6.0.0 with success ?
Thank's
Hi, yes ezmomi needs to update pyvmomi to 6.0.0 to work with vsphere 6. I plan on working on that soon. Pyvmomi 6 will require Python 2.7+ FYI.

@bof35 can you pull down the ezmomi-vsphere6 branch and try it out for me please?
Note that it uses pyvmomi 6 which requires python 2.7, so you'll need to create a virtualenv using 2.7.
git clone git@github.com:snobear/ezmomi.git
virtualenv --no-site-packages ezmomi
cd ezmomi && source bin/activate && export PYTHONPATH=$PWD:$PYTHONPATH
git checkout ezmomi-vsphere6
pip install -r requirements.txt
ezmomi --help
Note you may get a warning about unverified SSL. SSL cert verification was turned on by default in python 2.7.9.
Another side note in case someone runs into it. I tried open-vm-tools from EPEL 6, which works fine on our EL6 VMs, however, it does not support guest customization. So I recommend sticking with the usual VMwaretools for EL6. VMware is recommended open-vm-tools for EL7 moving forward, so its not totally supported for 6 yet.
Hi Snobear,
Thank's for your help.
I test with the latest pyvmomi 6.0.0 + ezmomi-vsphere6 branch but the result is the same .
i test with python 2.7.8 , python2.7.11 and python 3.5 ...
All ezmomi command is OK , except clone template...

Looks like its referencing https://github.com/snobear/ezmomi/blob/ezmomi-vsphere6/ezmomi/ezmomi.py#L251. I'm guessing template_vm.config.hardware.device
is undefined for you, and I should add a check for it before going into the loop.
Will update and let you know... Thanks for following up.
@bof35 in the meantime, can you please give me some details about the VM template you use? I'm wondering what hardware devices you have attached/associated with the template.
@bof35 also, can you add the --debug
option to your clone command? I added it into this vsphere6 branch.
@snobear , here is my command with --debug arg :

@bof35 can you git pull the latest? I added additional debug output, and also a check to ensure that particular object is defined. So at the very least it will give me more info to work with.
@snobear,
my command with your new additionnal debug ouput.

@bof35 OK try again :) I added a block to pass through what I think is the troublesome section of code. (Unfortunately I cannot reproduce what you all are seeing on your end so its difficult to troubleshoot the exact issue, but this should mitigate)
@snobear , Ok now I can clone clone my template :-) , but my VM doesn't start because of conflict when creating Network VLAN settings. ( create a standard network no VLAN)
Is Vlan's Port ID set automatically ? , Can we set the DistributedVirtualSwitch to the config file ?
OK great thanks for working with me on this.
DistributedVirtualSwitch config has been requested in #28. I don't currently have that setup in my lab, so will have to do so in order to implement and test. Keep an eye on that issue for progress.
I'm going to merge this into master and release as ezmomi 6.x in order to follow the vsphere/pyvmomi versioning.
