Moti - isn't this a regression to the API as this call should have
worked as-is pre-3.3 vnic profiles?
If there was a network in < 3.3 env which were used for port mirroring, the
upgrade script to 3.3 would have create a suitable profile for it, therefore
the same code which were run before 3.3 should remain working, for an existing
entities.
However in order to consume new networks configured for port mirroring, there
is a need to define a specific profile for it.
This shares the same concept as introduced by Network permissions: user will be
able to consume a network which was defined before the adding the permissions
feature, but for new networks, it is required to grant a specific permission.
So the equivalent to 'grant a specific permissions' in this case is creating a
matching vnic profile.
