Reporter: Rohit Yadav Assignee: Rohit Yadav Fix For: Future, 4.11.0.0 The maximum number of NICs that a vSphere based virtual machine is 10 virtual NICs. However a CloudStack created Instance cannot start if there are greater than 7 NICs attached. More that 7 NICs can be attached via CloudStack if the VM is already running it is only the start process that fails if more than 7 NICs have been attached. If a VM has greater that 7 NICs a management server log message similar to the following is created: StartCommand failed due to Exception: java.lang.RuntimeException Message: Invalid configuration for device '10'. java.lang.RuntimeException: Invalid configuration for device '10'. The vpxd.log on the vCenter shows: ‐‐> Result: ‐‐> (vim.fault.InvalidDeviceSpec) { ‐‐> faultCause = (vmodl.MethodFault) null, ‐‐> faultMessage = <unset>, ‐‐> property = "unitNumber", ‐‐> deviceIndex = 10 ‐‐> msg = "Invalid configuration for device '10'." ‐‐> } -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
