Unable to perform vmkernel operation

[Akasurde]

Adding new vmkernel raises following error

HostNetworkSystem:hostnetworksystem-85 does not implement: UpdateNetworkConfig

@Akasurde can you clarify what command did you run, and what version of vcsim did you use? Thanks.

@anfernee Thanks for response.

I am facing this issue while using vcsim with Ansible VMware module vmware_vmkernel.

vmware_vmkernel.py internally uses an API

host_network_config_result = host_network_system.UpdateNetworkConfig(config, "modify")

I think this function is not implemented in vcsim, so Ansible module fails.

You can use following Ansible playbook to reproduce this error against latest govcsim code.

  hosts: localhost
  vars:
    - vcsim: 0.0.0.0
  tasks:
    - name: add vmkernel
      vmware_vmkernel:

        hostname: "{{ vcsim }}"

The method was added in #855

We may need to update more of the fields within, @Akasurde re-open if that is the case.
