Hello, I’m attempting to create a VM with the simple playbook below, and attach an existing NIC profile to it. In the oVirt web-gui, I would do this by simply selecting the profile in the VM settings under “_Instantiate VM network interfaces by picking a vNIC profile._”

When I attempt to assign it via Ansible, I get the following error:

_Fault reason is “Operation Failed”. Fault detail is “[Cannot add Interface. The network interface type doesn’t match the profile. Virtual machine interface of type ‘PCI Passthrough’ should have ‘Passthrough’ profile and vice versa.]”._

Am I adding the vNIC in the incorrect way?
