A specified parameter was not correct: spec.identity.hostName

[aha0714]

Hi Guys  i currently made a debian vm in vcenter and converted it into   a template. My plan is to deploy vm machines using this template from vrealize orchastrator. I have posted my workflow and the error that i am getting. It has a problem with the host name but the host name is "temp" which i dont see a problem with. I  am new to vrealize and would appreciate any help.

Can you show the code in Clone Linux subflow?

Hey thanks for the quick answer. Hier is the pic.

var taskEnd = false;
var error;

while (task != null) {
if (task.info == null) {
throw "VIM Task info is null";
}
if (task.info.state == null) {
throw "VIM Task state is null";
}

var state = task.info.state.value;
if (state == "success") {
break;
}
else if (state == "error") {
if (task.info.error.localizedMessage == null) {
throw "Task '" + task.info.name + "' has encountered an unknown error";
}
else {
throw "Task '" + task.info.name + "' error: "+task.info.error.localizedMessage;
}
}
else if ((progress) && (state == "running")) {
if (task.info.progress == null) {
System.log(task.info.name+" Queued or In Progress...");
}
else {
System.log(task.info.name+" "+task.info.progress+" %");
}
}
System.sleep(pollRate*1000);
}

if (task == null) {
throw "VIM Task is null";
}
else if (progress) {
System.log(task.info.name+" end");
}

System.sleep(2*1000);

// Return the Task Result
if (task != null && task.info != null && task.info.result != null) {
return VcPlugin.convertToVimManagedObject(task , task.info.result);
}
else {
return null;
}

As the problem is with custom spec, can you post the code where you set the hostname?

I found the problem it was an attribute which was wrong. But i have another problem and it is the task of adding an extra disk.

*** End of execution stack.

the Script for the task looks like this and i dont know where the problem could be:

 

var configSpec = new VcVirtualMachineConfigSpec();

var deviceConfigSpecs = new Array();

var deviceConfigSpec;

// Add/Create the disk

deviceConfigSpec = System.getModule("com.vmware.library.vc.vm.spec.config.device").createVirtualDiskFlatVer2ConfigSpec(

    diskSize, datastore, scsiControllerKey, diskIndex, VcVirtualDiskMode.fromString(diskMode.name), thinProvisioned );

deviceConfigSpecs[0] = deviceConfigSpec;

// List of devices

configSpec.deviceChange = deviceConfigSpecs;

// Launch the reconfigVM task

task = vm.reconfigVM_Task( configSpec );

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the quick answer but I was referring to your initial issues => A specified parameter was not correct: spec.identity.hostName

And I don't see that mentioned in your blog.

[WhiteForEver]

Sorry. My bad. I thought you have the same problem with the disk.
