Dave, As I suspected I used guest type for this offering:
def createPrivateGatewayNetworkOffering(self, conn): offers = self.listNetworkOfferings(conn, name="NiciraNvpPrivateGatewayNetwork") if offers != None: return offers[0].id # else create it cno = createNetworkOffering.createNetworkOfferingCmd() cno.name = "NiciraNvpPrivateGatewayNetwork" cno.displaytext = "VPC private gateway network offering with Nicira NVP" cno.traffictype = "GUEST" cno.specifyvlan = True cno.specifyipranges = True cno.availability = "Optional" cno.conservemode = True cno.guestiptype = "Isolated" cno.usevpc = True cno.systemonly = True cno.supportedservices = [ "Connectivity" ] cno.serviceproviderlist = [ { "service": "Connectivity", "provider": "NiciraNVP"} ] #cno.servicecapabilitylist cno.tags = [ "nicira-based" ] #cno.networkrate #cno.serviceofferingid try: resp = conn.marvin_request(cno) except: print "nicira based offering already exists" #todo query and return Do you know if this is going to be a problem? It works for me and I don't see any objections to it. regards, Daan On Fri, Sep 6, 2013 at 12:30 PM, Daan Hoogland <daan.hoogl...@gmail.com> wrote: > H Dave, > > I actually didn't give 'guest' to much thought.
