We recently upgraded our venter to 7.03 and ESXI systems to v7.03 and this issues has started rearing its ugly head. Basically the scenario is as follows:

  • Standard Switch with a port-group name that is the same as Distributed Switch port-group name exists
  • When deploying a new VM via vmware_guest module - the VM is deployed to the Standard Switch, and not the Distributed Switch.

Example:

WormHoleNet on Standard Switch
WormHoleNet on Distributed Switch

I found that the solution was to update my custom execution environment – which applied the latest VMware SDK.
