Hello,

I'm following the thread on the forum.

According to the documentation, when the VLAN_ID is missing it will be automatically generated.

This does not work and here are the steps to reproduce:

1. Create a network template:
   

   oneadmin@one:~# cat > vnet.tmpl <<EOF
   NAME="test-vnet" 
   VN_MAD="ovswitch" 
   BRIDGE="vswitch" 
   EOF
   

2. Create the network:
   

   oneadmin@one:~# onevnet create -c 0 vnet.tmpl
   ID: 8
   

Here is the resulting vnet XML:

oneadmin@one:~# onevnet show -x test-vnet
<VNET>
  <ID>8</ID>
  <UID>0</UID>
  <GID>0</GID>
  <UNAME>oneadmin</UNAME>
  <GNAME>oneadmin</GNAME>
  <NAME>test-vnet</NAME>
  <PERMISSIONS>
    <OWNER_U>1</OWNER_U>
    <OWNER_M>1</OWNER_M>
    <OWNER_A>0</OWNER_A>
    <GROUP_U>0</GROUP_U>
    <GROUP_M>0</GROUP_M>
    <GROUP_A>0</GROUP_A>
    <OTHER_U>0</OTHER_U>
    <OTHER_M>0</OTHER_M>
    <OTHER_A>0</OTHER_A>
  </PERMISSIONS>
  <CLUSTERS>
    <ID>0</ID>
  </CLUSTERS>
  <BRIDGE><![CDATA[vswitch]]></BRIDGE>
  <PARENT_NETWORK_ID/>
  <VN_MAD><![CDATA[ovswitch]]></VN_MAD>
  <PHYDEV/>
  <VLAN_ID/>
  <VLAN_ID_AUTOMATIC>0</VLAN_ID_AUTOMATIC>
  <USED_LEASES>0</USED_LEASES>
  <VROUTERS/>
  <TEMPLATE>
    <BRIDGE><![CDATA[vswitch]]></BRIDGE>
    <PHYDEV><![CDATA[]]></PHYDEV>
    <SECURITY_GROUPS><![CDATA[0]]></SECURITY_GROUPS>
    <VN_MAD><![CDATA[ovswitch]]></VN_MAD>
  </TEMPLATE>
  <AR_POOL/>
</VNET>

The VLAN_ID is null and VLAN_ID_AUTOMATIC is 0.

Miguel Ángel Alvarez Cabrerizo give me the solution to use AUTOMATIC_VLAN_ID="YES"

1. Delete the network
   

   oneadmin@one:~# onevnet delete test-vnet
   

2. Update the network template:
   

   oneadmin@one:~# cat >> vnet.tmpl <<EOF
   AUTOMATIC_VLAN_ID="YES" 
   EOF
   

3. Create the network:
   

   oneadmin@one:~# onevnet create -c 0 vnet.tmpl
   ID: 9
   

Here is the resulting vnet XML:

<VNET>
  <ID>9</ID>
  <UID>0</UID>
  <GID>0</GID>
  <UNAME>oneadmin</UNAME>
  <GNAME>oneadmin</GNAME>
  <NAME>test-vnet</NAME>
  <PERMISSIONS>
    <OWNER_U>1</OWNER_U>
    <OWNER_M>1</OWNER_M>
    <OWNER_A>0</OWNER_A>
    <GROUP_U>0</GROUP_U>
    <GROUP_M>0</GROUP_M>
    <GROUP_A>0</GROUP_A>
    <OTHER_U>0</OTHER_U>
    <OTHER_M>0</OTHER_M>
    <OTHER_A>0</OTHER_A>
  </PERMISSIONS>
  <CLUSTERS>
    <ID>0</ID>
  </CLUSTERS>
  <BRIDGE><![CDATA[vswitch]]></BRIDGE>
  <PARENT_NETWORK_ID/>
  <VN_MAD><![CDATA[ovswitch]]></VN_MAD>
  <PHYDEV/>
  <VLAN_ID><![CDATA[11]]></VLAN_ID>
  <VLAN_ID_AUTOMATIC>1</VLAN_ID_AUTOMATIC>
  <USED_LEASES>0</USED_LEASES>
  <VROUTERS/>
  <TEMPLATE>
    <BRIDGE><![CDATA[vswitch]]></BRIDGE>
    <PHYDEV><![CDATA[]]></PHYDEV>
    <SECURITY_GROUPS><![CDATA[0]]></SECURITY_GROUPS>
    <VN_MAD><![CDATA[ovswitch]]></VN_MAD>
  </TEMPLATE>
  <AR_POOL/>
</VNET>

So either the documentation is wrong or the code does not work as expected.

Regards.

NB: the AUTOMATIC_VLAN_ID attribute is not documented in Virtual Network Definition
NB2: is there a way to update the already created networks to fix them or should I write a fixture to directly update the database?
