Hey there,
I'm currently just getting my environment up and running. I'm using vCenter server 5.1.0. Basically, what I'm trying to do is create a vApp, put some VMs cloned from templates in it, and then have them obtain IPs from a specified IP Pool.
Here's what I've done:
- Created an IP pool called "Pool Test" with "Enable IP Pool" checked and a range of 10 IPs specified
- Associated "Pool Test" to a VM Network called "Network Test"
- Created a vApp called "TestApp" and checked "OVF Environment" in "Advanced"
- Selected "Transient" in the IP Allocation Policy section
- Cloned a VM from a template to the vApp
- Assigned "Network Test" to the VM Network Adapter
- Enabled vApp options in the VM settings
Now, when I spin up the VM I just cloned from the template, it's getting a 169.x.x.x address, not an address from the IP pool I created. Not really sure what I've done wrong here, but would really appreciate some guidance.
Thanks!
