Description of problem:

This is a mirror of support ticket 01626487, created on request by the dev's in https://gitter.im/ManageIQ/manageiq/automate

We are provisioning a machine from a service catalog item by creating a provisioning request and calling 

request = $evm.execute('create_provision_request', *args)
 
with the following array:

["1.1", "name=ubuntu_14_04_4_WTSI_20160330|request_type=template", "vm_name=jb23vmware|number_of_vms=1", "user_name=staff1_osato.com|owner_first_name=staff1|owner_last_name=Osato.com|owner_email=jb23.uk", nil, "arbitary_information_for_cloud_init=[]|extra_disk_sizes=0", nil, nil]

This fails validation with :

[---] E, [2016-04-29T16:43:56.253047 #1259:317f0b8] ERROR -- : Q-task_id([service_template_provision_task_1431]) MIQ(ManageIQ::Providers::Vmware::InfraManager::ProvisionWorkflow#validate_values) <Provision failed for the following reasons:
'Network/vLan' is required>
[----] E, [2016-04-29T16:43:56.253152 #1259:317f0b8] ERROR -- : Q-task_id([service_template_provision_task_1431]) MIQ(MiqProvisionVirtWorkflow.from_ws_ver_1_x) <Provision failed for the following reasons:
'Network/vLan' is required>

I know for example in openstack that I set "cloud_network=" in ws_values ( arg6 ) what is the equivalent rune for vmware ?


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

5.5.2.4.20160127105142_395c086 


How reproducible:

Consistently

Steps to Reproduce:
From a console:
args=["1.1", "name=ubuntu_14_04_4_WTSI_20160330|request_type=template", "vm_name=test009|number_of_vms=1", "user_name=staff1_osato.com|owner_first_name=staff1|owner_last_name=Osato.com|owner_email=jb23.uk", nil, "dvs=vxw-dvs-25-virtualwire-6-sid-5000-Osato_Chemical|is_dvs=true", nil, nil]
$evm.execute('create_provision_request', *args)

Actual results:

  Configuration Inst Including Associations (0.1ms - 1rows)
  ResourcePool Inst Including Associations (0.1ms - 1rows)

Expected results:

I am not certain what the correct string to place in the ws_values to specify the dvs ( Or indeed exactly the string to specify the dvs).


Additional info:

We can create a vmware system from a dialog box and the provision request looks like:

The redhat support engineer has added:

 It appears you are passing two dvs switches but the vm being provisioned only has one network adapter.
