VMmark 4 Tile Provisioning Failure

[Brian Havinga]

First off I have to say that I am attempting to run a non-standard benchmark. I am only using 2 single host clusters, to run a comparison of their CPUs. That said, I'm having an issue wherein the provisioning step fails due to multiple errors related to the cloning process. The error text is below.

My assumption is that the benchmark's logic takes the "NetworkLabel" input supplied during quick_start and attempts to apply it to all cloned VMs (as all of the benchmark VMs end up having the same vLAN/Network label configured on them after the cloning process ends. 

(vim.fault.NicSettingMismatch) {
    msg = 'The number of network adapter settings in the customization specification: 1 does not match the number of network adapters present in the virtual machine: 2.'
}

I am happy to test/change anything as needed.

I am not able to fully export logs due to my work environment restrictions.

Hi Brian,

We really do need the logs, as it's hard to troubleshoot problems otherwise. Even screenshots of /root/VMmark4/provision/Provision-[timestamp]/vmmark4service-output.log would be helpful - specifically, look for/grep for the string "[ERROR]".

Please state the version of VMmark 4 you're using (4.0.3?), the filename of the OVA you deployed, and the exact command you used to run Quick Start or provision.

Finally, be aware that since single-host clusters are not compliant, the results cannot be published publicly (and it take a bit of work, since this was designed as a multi-host cluster benchmark).

David
