Ensuring a VM gets a specific IP address on Deploy

[David Matteson <dm...@a2hosting.com>]

Hey everybody,

I have a seemingly simple question that I haven't quite been able to 
figure out; we have our networks and zones set up and we're calling 
deployVirtualMachine to create a VM. Is there a way I can ensure it gets 
a specific IP address? Is there something that needs to be set up in a 
certain way for this to work? Simply specifying an IP on the deploy 
command doesn't seem to work; it was ignored and the VM got a different 
IP from the pool.

Thanks!

I believe IP address assignment for guest VMs is possible only in an advanced zone. Are you on an advanced zone?
