1. you are updating the OVF - have you found a matching field in the OVF
spec[1] for vnic profiles?
Currently the only field used to specify the network is "Connection".
There is no specific field for specifying a vnic profile. We can make
a use of the 'OtherResourceType' which isn't in use by the engine for
storing the vnic profile name.
An alternative would be using the Connection field to store both
Network:Profile, and parsing it when a vm or template are being imported.
I'm in favour of the first option for simplicity and in order not to
modify the Connection field as is being used today.
2. import/export - please note exporting is backward compatible based
on
DC level (iirc - omer should remember better), i.e., if the DC is 3.2,
the export should ignore vnic profiles, etc.
3. while at it - just to make sure before i add more comments- are the
screenshots in the wiki up to date?
The images should be updated since the vnic profiles will be a main-tab,
appears only when a network is selected, instead of a sub-tab of the
networks.
Thanks,
Itamar
