@mriedem The issue is in nova/virt/vmwareapi/virt.py. This is where the
network type is being set for the instance.

** Description changed:

- For NSX-mh, network type is being set to opaque, but that does not
- appear to be valid.
- 
+ When nova-vmware is used as compute with NSX-mh neutron plugin, network
+ type for launch OpenStack instance is being set to opaque, but that is
+ not valid network type for the NSX vswitch. It should be nsx.network. As
+ a result, instance is launched and remains disconnected.
  
  If trying to create an NSX vswitch on ESXi, it shows opaque as invalid.
  
  ~ #  nsxcli network/add br-int2 br-int2 opaque manual
  Invalid opaque network type
  Valid types are nsx.network and nsx-bridge.network
  nsx-appctl: nsxd: server returned an error
- ~ # 
- 
+ ~ #
  
  This applies to both ESXi 5.5 and 6.0

** Summary changed:

- NSX-mh: Invalid opaque network type
+ nova-vmware with NSX-mh neutron plugin: instance not connected to network because network type set opaque which is invalid on ESXi

** Changed in: nova
       Status: Invalid => New
