SUMMARY

Speedup network search while creating VM using vmware_guest.

ISSUE TYPE

• Feature Pull Request

COMPONENT NAME

vmware_guest.py

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

vmware_guest network search is slow. It use find_obj() from vmware.py that loop through all objects trying to find correct. I have a lag for 5 mins trying. PyVmomi.network_exists_by_name works much faster.

also curios why Clone task

                    task = vm_obj.Clone(folder=destfolder, name=self.params['name'], spec=clonespec)

dont have self.wait_for_task(task) line like CreateVM_Task or ReconfigVM_Task.
After debugging customize_advanced_settings function (not successfully sadly) I get incorrect facts = self.gather_facts(vm_obj) couple of times because it didnt have time enough to get it correct (i guess)

TODO: also add find_network_by_name function to

                if nic.device.deviceInfo.summary != network_name:
                    if 'DVSwitch' not in nic.device.deviceInfo.summary:
                        nic.device.deviceInfo.summary = network_name
                        nic_change_detected = True
                    else:
