Multiple reservation error

[Kiran N <ki...@gmail.com>]

Hello All,

I have an existing Windows 2003 image which I have configured with VCL.I am
able to make 1 reservation successfully on the image on my vmguest vcl01.
But when I try to make more than one reservation, the second machine
(vcl02)boots up but I see an IP address conflict (in VI client).Hence this
machine is unable to be assigned an IP.
When seen in vcld.log I can see that sshd is not active on vcl02.

Also, I cannot see the VCL folder in the path C:\cygwin\home\root on the
vmguest machines.
Does it indicate that the files are not copied over to that machine during
image capture? Is this the problem for the issue above.

Please suggest!

You should be able to assign the public ip addresses by declaring a subnet
and including a range (the range if public IP's you wish to use) declaration
within it.  Take a look at the dhcpd.conf man pages for the exact syntax.

Hello,
I did configure the NIC on my base image and it does pick up IP address from
DHCP server.
My question is we configure the dhcpd.conf file for private IP addresses to
be assigned for the new vmguest machines.
Similarly.. is there any way to assign some particular public IP addresses
by the DHCP for each vmguest machine when making a reservation??
Currently.. when I configured NIC to use to DHCP IP addresses, it gets
assigned to the correct private IP but it is unable to pick up a public IP
address. How do I assign the public IP addresses when making multiple
reservations?
Please suggest!

It sounds like you have your base image set up to use a static IP address.
 This setting will be passed to any images you try to spin up.  I'm not sure
exactly how Windows 2003 works but you should be able to configure the NIC
on your base to request an IP from a DHCP server.
