Hello community,
I need to set up an instance with specific IP. It is on the network which doesn't have DHCP.
This answer Is there a way to specify static IP for a deploying OVA in the ovftool command? advises to use properties. But I am not using .ovf, but .ova file, and when I do:
ovftool gateway-9.1.01-6703-vmware-centos-x86_64e.ova
I get the following info from ova file:
[13:06:46][Step 5/13] OVF version: 1.0 [13:06:46][Step 5/13] VirtualApp: false [13:06:46][Step 5/13] Name: gateway-9.1.01-6703-vmware-centos-x86_64 [13:06:46][Step 5/13] [13:06:46][Step 5/13] Download Size: 1.80 GB [13:06:46][Step 5/13] [13:06:46][Step 5/13] Deployment Sizes: [13:06:46][Step 5/13] Flat disks: 50.00 GB [13:06:46][Step 5/13] Sparse disks: 4.28 GB [13:06:46][Step 5/13] [13:06:46][Step 5/13] Networks: [13:06:46][Step 5/13] Name: VM Network [13:06:46][Step 5/13] Description: The VM Network network [13:06:46][Step 5/13] [13:06:46][Step 5/13] Virtual Machines: [13:06:46][Step 5/13] Name: gateway-9.1.01-6703-vmware-centos-x86_64 [13:06:46][Step 5/13] Operating System: rhel6_64guest [13:06:46][Step 5/13] Virtual Hardware: [13:06:46][Step 5/13] Families: vmx-07 [13:06:46][Step 5/13] Number of CPUs: 2 [13:06:46][Step 5/13] Cores per socket: 1 [13:06:46][Step 5/13] Memory: 2.00 GB [13:06:46][Step 5/13] [13:06:46][Step 5/13] Disks: [13:06:46][Step 5/13] Index: 0 [13:06:46][Step 5/13] Instance ID: 9 [13:06:46][Step 5/13] Capacity: 50.00 GB [13:06:46][Step 5/13] Disk Types: SCSI-lsilogic [13:06:46][Step 5/13] [13:06:46][Step 5/13] NICs: [13:06:46][Step 5/13] Adapter Type: VmxNet3 [13:06:46][Step 5/13] Connection: VM Network
As you can see there are no properties for me to configure. So therefore I can't do anything like that:
--prop:{ClassID}.{Key}.{InstanceID}={Value}
So who do I set up this .ova instance with the specific IP on DMZ network?
I've tried various combination of the following, but unsuccessfully:
ovftool --nic:ipAddress="10.7.42.191" --powerOn --datastore="SSD_Datastore" --noSSLVerify --name="my_name" -dm=thin --network="DMZ" C:\Shared\gateway-9.1.00-6342-vmware-rhel-x86_64.ova vi://root:"my_password"@my.host.com
