vm os profile - e1000

Hi, I'm trying to run a nested ESXi in Cloudstack. 
Generally there is no problem with this with one exception, I don't know
what Os profile to use to get the e1000 NIC in the VM. 
ESXi claims that no network is connected. I am using KVM under CentOS 7
control.
Does anyone have any experience in this topic?

Regards,
Piotr

Hi Piotr,

vSphere7 (ESXi7) does not work on qemu yet, the vmxnet3 nic controller is buggy. If you're on Ubuntu 20.04 or equivalent distro, you can try using https://github.com/shapeblue/mbx or its host templates manually.

In my Ubuntu 20.04 I'm able to deploy VMware 6.5, 6.7, and other KVM/XenSever/XCP-ng hypervisors using mbx. My virsh/qemu/libvirt versions are:

# virsh version
Compiled against library: libvirt 6.0.0
Using library: libvirt 6.0.0
Using API: QEMU 6.0.0
Running hypervisor: QEMU 4.2.1


Regards.

Hi Nicolas,



The problem is that I can set the network card to e1000 this way, but for
vmxnet3 I have something like this:



Invocation exception, caused by:
com.cloud.exception.InsufficientServerCapacityException:

qemu-kvm: -device
vmxnet3,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=02:00:39:99:00:03,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3:
'vmxnet3' is not a valid device model name","wait":"0"}}] }



qemu-kvm-ev-2.12.0-33.1.el7_7.4 CS 4.15



Regards,

Piotr

Hi Piotr,



I have had the same issue with ESX 7 vms and needed to set the NIC device
model to: vmxnet3. Let me know if that helps
