Issue with odd error: RbVmomi::Fault: NotFound:

[brujack]

Some more debugging: with options --template sles11_sp3_template_base_image --datastore msa_large_vdisk01

I get error: /opt/chef/embedded/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/rbvmomi-1.5.1/lib/rbvmomi/vim/Task.rb:11:in `wait_for_completion': CannotAccessVmConfig: Unable to access the virtual machine configuration: Unable to access file [msa_large_vdisk01] sles11_sp3_template_vm-2/sles11_sp3_template_vm-2.vmtx (RbVmomi::Fault)

Interesting that template name sles11_sp3_template_base_image is getting parsed as sles11_sp3_template_vm-2/sles11_sp3_template_vm-2.vmtx

Hi, I'm sorry that this has sat unaddressed for so long. Is the problem still happening?

[swalberg]

Closing. If you're still having this problem, please re-open the issue and we'll continue the conversation.

Yes, I'm getting this when try spin off new VM

below is the exception message:
ERROR: RbVmomi::Fault: NotFound: The object or item referred to could not be found.

Could some one please help me to resolve this issue

I am hitting this issue as well. When I attempt to build a new VM using a text ESX host with datastore01 build on local storage, there is no issue at all. However, when I move this into one of the production environments, I get:

CannotAccessVmConfig: Unable to access the virtual machine configuration: Unable to access file [datastore-odd-01] RHEL6Template/RHEL6Template.vmtx

In the command string, I define the template using:

--template "RHEL6Template"

Running a "knife vsphere template list", I get:

Template Name: RHEL6Template

Hi, I missed the updates here. We resolved the problem in #254 -- use --resource_pool to specify a cluster that has access to the template and/or datastore.
