      Migrating a Virtual Machine from VMware to OpenShift Virtualization using MTV

      Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:

      Latest RHEL 9.4 and also 10.4.0.1 (9.5)
      VMware 8.0.2 build 23825572

      How reproducible:

      Always on customer setup

      Steps to reproduce

      Try to dumpxml of a VMware VM with the following for the vNIC, missing ConnectionId (and PortId):

      ethernet0.allowGuestConnectionControl = "FALSE"
      ethernet0.virtualDev = "vmxnet3"
      ethernet0.dvs.switchId = "<removed customer data>"
      ethernet0.dvs.portgroupId = "dvportgroup-4037"
      ethernet0.shares = "normal"
      ethernet0.addressType = "vpx"
      ethernet0.generatedAddress = "<removed customer data>"
      ethernet0.uptCompatibility = "TRUE"
      ethernet0.pciSlotNumber = "192"
      ethernet0.present = "TRUE"
      

      In RHEL-35948 we fixed PortId by making it optional. I gave that build to the customer for testing, and it still failed, now with connectionId

      Expected results

      Dumpxml works on vmx above

      Actual results

      error: internal error: Missing essential config entry 'ethernet0.dvs.connectionId'
