Hello,
I have a VM created by vSphere WEB UI with serial ports.
I requested config of this VM by REST API and here is the serial ports config:
"serial_ports": [
{
"value": {
"start_connected": true,
"backing": {
"auto_detect": false,
"host_device": "/dev/char/serial/uart1",
"type": "HOST_DEVICE"
},
"allow_guest_control": true,
"yield_on_poll": true,
"label": "Serial port 1",
"state": "NOT_CONNECTED"
},
"key": "9000"
},
{
"value": {
"start_connected": true,
"backing": {
"auto_detect": false,
"host_device": "/dev/char/serial/uart0",
"type": "HOST_DEVICE"
},
"allow_guest_control": true,
"yield_on_poll": true,
"label": "Serial port 2",
"state": "NOT_CONNECTED"
},
"key": "9001"
}]
Now I want to create VM via REST API with the same configuration of serial ports, serial port config is:
"serial_ports": [
{
"allow_guest_control": true,
"start_connected": true,
"yield_on_poll": true,
"backing": {
"type": "HOST_DEVICE",
"host_device": "/dev/char/serial/uart1"
}
},
{
"allow_guest_control": true,
"start_connected": true,
"yield_on_poll": true,
"backing": {
"type": "HOST_DEVICE",
"host_device": "/dev/char/serial/uart0"
}}]
But in response of my VM create request I got a serial ports config without any path to host_device:
"serial_ports": {
"9000": {
"start_connected": true,
"backing": {
"auto_detect": true,
"type": "HOST_DEVICE"
},
"allow_guest_control": true,
"yield_on_poll": true,
"label": "Serial port 1",
"state": "NOT_CONNECTED"
},
"9001": {
"start_connected": true,
"backing": {
"auto_detect": true,
"type": "HOST_DEVICE"
},
"allow_guest_control": true,
"yield_on_poll": true,
"label": "Serial port 2",
"state": "NOT_CONNECTED"
}}
So, as you see, I failed to create VM with requested serial ports configuration.
So, any ideas why I can't create VM with serial ports as I requested?
I looks like WEB UI works Ok but I got troubles with REST API
