Running into some challenges with deploying an OVA. Been beating my head against the wall for a couple days and need to call in some help.
The goal is to deploy an OVA to a vcenter. Keep in mind this is a lab environment so there are self signed certs. Ideally i would like to create a flag that i can toggle depending on the environment its run in.
The script runs and connects - however when it goes to upload it looks like it wants to upload however it just times out and cancels itself.
The error that my script outputs is the following:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/workspaces/nestedlabs/test_combine.py", line 105, in <module>
deploy_ova(si, ova_url, cluster_name, datastore_name, vm_name, vm_config)

The script i have so far is the following. The ips and passwords have been changed - they are bogus for this post.
