My VM is correctly cloned in my vsphere infrastructure after a 'vagrant up --debug --provider=vsphere' however I'm left with the following error:

Anyone have an idea what this is all about ? (Undefined namespace prefix: //soapenv:Body/*)

Thanks,
Nicola

[alexis-gruet-deel]

the same for me, Did you fixed your issue ? BTW could you tell me which version of ESX you use ? this your IaaS platform or through a provider such as rackspace or other ?

Thanks

[motarski]

Any news on this guys, I ended up with the same thing.. VM is correctly deployed but vagrant throws Undefined namespace prefix: //soapenv:Body/* ... Any Solutions?

[jwbraucher]

This may be a problem with the rubygem that provides the vSphere connectivity for this plugin, rbvmomi. See vmware-archive/rbvmomi#67.

Try setting "vsphere.insecure = true" in your Vagrantfile, and let us know if that fixes the problem.

[motarski]

Thanks for trying to help @jwbraucher I appreciate it unfortunately that setting in my Vagrantfile didn't work for me. I have tried different templates and I am still having the error after 3-4 minutes after fire, vagrant breaks, but cloning continues on vmware. I am using dummy box and template is on the host. Now I didn't timed, but I bet it breaks on same time after fire on both templates. It's like it is timeouting something, and the error pops... Don't know, I am stuck

[jwbraucher]

OK, I think we need more information to help figure out what's happening. What version of vCenter are you using? Can you post your Vagrantfile and the full debug output?

[motarski]

Thank you again for trying to help. Ok, for the info required. The Vmware Vcenter Server version is 5.1.0 Build 1123961 it's Enterprise Plus license. The Vagrant version installed on my workstation box (Ubuntu 15.04) is Vagrant 1.7.4. This is vagrant File ...(I will leave out the host ip and credentials for the obvious reasons)

VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION = "2"
Vagrant.configure(VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION) do |config|
config.vm.box = "dummy"
config.vm.box_url = "dummybox_data/dummy.box"

config.vm.provider :vsphere do |vsphere|
vsphere.host = 'datacentar_addr'
vsphere.compute_resource_name = 'Cluster1'
vsphere.template_name = '/Templates/Linux/Debian8_80GB'
vsphere.vm_base_path = '/Boxes/Linux/'
vsphere.name = 'debvag01'
vsphere.user = 'user'
vsphere.password = 'password'

end
end

And finally this is the log generated with VAGRANT_LOG=debug vagrant up --provider=vsphere

Once again, thank you for trying to help.

[jwbraucher]

I'm glad to help. If this is actually a bug, I'd like to find the cause and hopefully help get it fixed.

It's interesting that the CloneVM operation is still being initiated even with these error messages. That says to me that you are mostly configured correctly. I wonder if this might be a permissions problem, though I would expect to see a more informative error message if that were the case. You might be able to find more information in your vCenter server logs, though it can sometimes be difficult to find those. Double-check the permissions you have granted to the vsphere account that you have in your Vagrantfile.

Here are the vCenter permissions that we are using in our environment (you may not need all of these depending on the features you are using in your environment) :
Datastore -> Allocate space
Global -> Set custom attribute
Network -> Assign network
Resource -> Assign virtual machine To resource pool
Virtual Machine -> Configuration -> Add new disk
Virtual Machine -> Configuration -> Change CPU count
Virtual Machine -> Configuration -> Change resource
Virtual Machine -> Configuration -> Memory
Virtual Machine -> Configuration -> Modify device settings
Virtual Machine -> Configuration -> Settings
Virtual Machine -> Interaction -> Device connection
Virtual Machine -> Interaction -> Power Off
Virtual Machine -> Interaction -> Power On
Virtual Machine -> Interaction -> Reset
Virtual Machine -> Inventory -> Create from existing
Virtual Machine -> Inventory -> Create new
Virtual Machine -> Inventory -> Remove
Virtual Machine -> Provisioning -> Customize
Virtual Machine -> Provisioning -> Deploy template
Virtual Machine -> Provisioning -> Read customization specifications

[motarski]

You just might be right. All this could be permission related. Since I am 'renting' the Cloud from a provider I do not have full Administrator privileges and permissions. I am assigned in a role of Data center and Network Administrator, and as such I can:

Datacenter Administrator Perform actions on global items, folders, datacenters, datastores, hosts, virtual machines, resources, and alarms.
Set up datacenters, but with limited ability to interact with virtual machines. This includes:
• All privileges for folder, datacenter, datastore, network, resource, alarms, and scheduled task privileges groups.
• Selected privileges for global items, host, and virtual machine privileges groups.
• No privileges for session, performance, and permission privileges groups.

Since I have no access for sessions, and permission privileges groups, I couldn't know the exact permission assigned to me, as well I don't have access to the logs. So, that's that. Dead end for me.

Since I said that even if Vagrant breaks, the machine continue and finishes with cloning from template on the Vsphere, I wonder what will happen when I run vagrant provision after the VM finishes with deploy.

I will test that, and write of results.

[abondis]

@motarski did you have any chance figuring out the problem ? is this permissions or something else ?

[abondis]

Maybe it can help, I've been able to use https://gist.github.com/rubiojr/1195252 without issue.
I finally got figured out my problem. The library sends a 'WaitForUpdates' request. The proxy on the provider side has a 5 minutes timeout and cloning takes more then that. In the end, their proxy returns a 502 error.
Adding debug: true to the connect call allowed me to identify this issue.

[otwieracz]

Were you able to resolve this issue? I am unable to use vsphere because of that.
