[chef] Knife-vsphere

[Anna Redding < >]

Hey my chef buddies!  

If you have used the 'knife vsphere vm clone ...' command, maybe you can help 
me. After getting through all the 'env' things like user, password, vcenter 
host, doing insecure to bypass ssl,  etc, and with all those settings, I can 
successfully do several of the 'list' commands like 'knife vsphere vm list', 
so I know those are all resolving as try should but, when I try to clone a 
VM, I'm receiving the error "VM/Template not found."  This is for a RHEL VM.  

I've tried several gyrations to identify its location but nothing seems to be 
working. 
- I've tried using a VM, that is powered on, for the source 
- I've tried a VM that is converted to a template 
- I've tried identifying the datastore. 
- I've tried identifying the datacenter where the source is located
- I tried using the relative path o the template (relative to datacenter 
layer an relative to the datastore)

Any suggestions?

Much appreciated
Anna
