CLOUDSTACK-9647: NIC adapter type becomes e1000 , even after changingâ¦
**Issue:**
NIC adapter type becomes e1000 , even after changing the global parameter
"vmware.systemvm.nic.device.type" to vmxnet3.
**Description**
Repro steps:-
-> Set global parameter "vmware.systemvm.nic.device.type" to vmxnet3.
-> Created a VPC network and deployed a VM using the same network.
-> Checked the router details and found that for private network , it was
showing nic adapter type as VMXNET3 and for other networks (public and guest)
it was showing as E1000.
-> Rebooted the VPC network and checked it again, it was same as earlier.
/vmfs/volumes/3e5dffc5-9b91346e/r-2805-VM # grep virtualDev r-2805-VM.vmx
pciBridge4.virtualDev = "pcieRootPort"
pciBridge5.virtualDev = "pcieRootPort"
pciBridge6.virtualDev = "pcieRootPort"
pciBridge7.virtualDev = "pcieRootPort"
scsi0.virtualDev = "lsilogic"
ethernet0.virtualDev = "vmxnet3"
ethernet1.virtualDev = "e1000"
ethernet2.virtualDev = "e1000"
ethernet3.virtualDev = "e1000"
**Root Cause:**
While preparing PlugNicCommand for VPC Network, NIC adapter type is not
used.
PlugNicCommand:
"com.cloud.agent.api.PlugNicCommand": {
"nic": {
"deviceId": 1,
"networkRateMbps": 200,
"defaultNic": true,
"pxeDisable": true,
"nicUuid": "9ae41bb1-dc22-4489-95f4-2c2659c99486",
"uuid": "4ffdfb14-7d47-4ffd-b7fb-85f171c349ff",
"ip": "10.104.92.161",
"netmask": "255.255.254.0",
"gateway": "10.104.92.1",
"mac": "06:f8:de:00:00:14",
"broadcastType": "Vlan",
"type": "Public",
"broadcastUri": "vlan://untagged",
"isolationUri": "vlan://untagged",
"isSecurityGroupEnabled": false
},
"instanceName": "r-2784-VM",
"vmType": "DomainRouter",
"wait": 0
}
Code Snippet:
public class VpcVirtualNetworkApplianceManagerImpl extends
VirtualNetworkApplianceManagerImpl implements VpcVirtualNetworkApplianceManager
{
...
...
@Override
public boolean finalizeCommandsOnStart(Commands cmds,
VirtualMachineProfile profile) {
...
...
//3) PREPARE PLUG NIC COMMANDS
try {
//add VPC router to public networks
...
..
final PlugNicCommand plugNicCmd = new
PlugNicCommand(_nwHelper.getNicTO(domainRouterVO, publicNic.getNetworkId(),
publicNic.getBroadcastUri().toString()),
domainRouterVO.getInstanceName(),
domainRouterVO.getType());
...
...
//add VPC router to guest networks
for (Pair<Nic, Network> nicNtwk : guestNics) {
Nic guestNic = nicNtwk.first();
//plug guest nic
final PlugNicCommand plugNicCmd = new
PlugNicCommand(_nwHelper.getNicTO(domainRouterVO, guestNic.getNetworkId(),
null), domainRouterVO.getInstanceName(), domainRouterVO.getType());
cmds.addCommand(plugNicCmd);
...
}
...
...
}
**Solution:**
Fetch and add NIC adapter type to PlugNicCommand. Refer attached
ES-4150-patch.diff for more details.
Command After fix:
