vApp shutdown order depends on IP Allocation Policy?

$

Have found a strange behavior with vApp -

it overwrites the shutdown order specified on the 'Start Order' tab in vApp if the IP Allocation Policy = DHCP.

 

Steps to reproduce -

1. Create a vApp with 2 vms

2. Set the order to start - vm1, vm2. Shutdown should happen in reverse order according to VMware.

3. Select both 'DHCP' and 'OVF Environment' checkboxes in the 'Advanced IP Allocation' window (Options->Advanced->IP Allocation).

4. Start vApp.

 

If select 'Fixed' or 'Transient' as the IP Allocation policy in the vApp settings then the shutdown goes correctly - vm2 shut down first, then vm1.

If select 'DHCP' then the shutdown goes WRONG - vm1 shut down first, then vm2.

It's very disappointing because shutdown order is very important in many cases.

 

Same issue happens with vCOPS vApp-

if DHCP is selected, the 'Analytics VM' is shut down first so it's not my wrong vApp setup.

 

 

Any advice how to resolve this?
