How to assign Static IP during VMWare Provisioning. Issue  Description This document provides the necessary steps to follow to assign static IP during VMware Provisioning

Procedure 1) First step is to enable the Virtual_Server_IPAddress Parameter in the catalog item.

2) In Order to this Navigate to the 'Blueprint', 'Deployment' model page and

3) Under 'Operations', click on 'Provision' and select the IP address checkbox and save. For reference, see the attached screenshot Step1.png

4) Sync the catalog item such that Virtual_server_IPAddress parameter shows up on the catalog item in the Cloud User Portal

5) To set a static IP in Vmware and make it functional, we need a few additional pieces of info namely Netmask, Gateway, Dns server 1, Dns server 2

6) In the Catalog item form before you submit for provisioning, make sure the Virtual_Server_IPAddress parameter is set in the below format :

IPAddress=10.10.1.1;Netmask=255.255.255.0;Gateway=10.1.1.1;DNS1=8.8.8.8;DNS2=

Note : If we do not enter the value in the above format , the provisioning will fail.

7) Make sure valid credentials to the VM are setup in the image on vmware and in the image record tied to OS profile in CMP

8) Make sure there is HTTPS access from MID server to the ESXi host that the VM is running on

Applicable Versions Any release with CMPv2 plugin enabled
