Sateesh Chodapuneedi commented on CLOUDSTACK-645:
-------------------------------------------------
Basic operations add/remove network to/from VM works with following caveats
- Check to see if vmtools is present or not in a VM is missing. VMware tools
require to support hot nic plugin to work. This check in the code can be added
with WARN logged in the log file or provide a -force option to continue
operation in absence of vmware vmtools.
- Some minor changes are required in DVSwitch code base to support this.
Removal of dvNic need to be implemented to support removal VM from network
implemented over any type of the supported distributed virtual switches.

> We would like the ability to move VMs between networks and/or reconfigure a
> VM's network, in order to accomodate hybrid/traditional server loads. We've
> implemented 3 API calls and would like to submit these for the community to
> edit/adjust/approve. The three calls are
> 'addNicToVirtualMachine','removeNicFromVirtualMachine', and
> 'updateDefaultNicForVirtualMachine'. One provides a VM Id and a network id,
> default Nics cannot be removed. The names might need adjustment to better fit
> the API, perhaps 'attachNetworkToVirtualMachine', etc. Looking for feedback,
> advice, potential pitfalls... does a feature branch need to be created or
> just a review?
> Release Planning:
> Dev list discussion: [jira] [Created] (CLOUDSTACK-645) add/remove network on
> VM
> Functional spec:
