Re: VMXNET3 via the API

[Rohit Yadav]

Using cloudmonkey, pass args: (note lowercase)

details[0].key=nicAdapter details[0].value=vmxnet3

If it's not working, check if the version of CloudStack supports this feature 
(overriding the default nic adapter setting using template details). 
Alternatively, you can pass this while deploying the vm using 
deployVirtualMachine API.

Is this the correct way to set the Vmxnet3 property for a VMware template
via the API?

It does not seem to be working even though it seems to be accepted via the
API. Any ideas?
