Hi,

Is there a JIRA ticket or something regarding this one so I can follow
the status?

I just created one: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DTACLOUD-348

I will start working on this next week, will update the status of this
JIRA once I will have something for testing :-)

Hi,

Yes, this is exactly what I want :-) Thanks!

Hi,

I think that what you want to do is to change something called the
"Portgroup". Sorry I don't have a lot of info regarding this but one
of the reasons I'm using deltacloud is avoiding digging in obscure
perl scripts :)

Anyway, here an example of what I would like to achieve:

I hope it helps!

Hi,

I'm looking into the VMWare documentation now for the CloneSpec[1].
Can you tell me what
argument you want to set specifically?

I guess you will need to pass something to CustomizationSpec ->
CustomizationAdapterMapping ->
CustomizationIPSettings :-)

I think for now we can implement this as a 'feature' for vsphere
driver and once we figure out
how to manage networks in VSphere properly, we can map it into the
network models as
David mentioned.

Hi,

In my case I only have one NIC connected to one VLAN per machine,
it is a pretty simple configuration. The problem comes from the
quantity of nodes and vlans, the tool I'm building is supposed to
rapidly deploy a configuration set of 48 machines, every set is
connected to its own VLAN, this is, those 48 machines are all
connected to it, and we are planning to have, at least in the
beginning, like 20-30 such sets at any given time, maybe more in
the future. The number of templates I would need to create and
maintain (if I choose to control the vlan the machines are
connected to via having templates for them with that configuration)
grows too much to be viable.

For me, a simple extra parameter when cloning an image or an extra
method that allows me to change the network on an instance should
be fine.

I was suggested by marios on the irc channel to post my
question/feature
request here.

I need to be able to create a number of machines in different
vlans via
deltacloud-vmware

Until now what I've been doing is to have one VMWare template for
every
vlan and then creating machines on that vlan by cloning the
corresponding template.

The problem is that if the number of vlans is elevated the update
and
management of the templates becomes complicated.

I would like to be able to specify the destination vlan of the clone
instead so I would only need to have one template. Both
specifying the
vlan on instance creation or afterwards would work for me.

Let me know if there is anything I can help you with regarding this
question.
We've done something like this for EC2, where we list subnets in
VPC's
as separate realms, and you can launch instance's into these
subnets by
selecting the appropriate realm.

I am not sure if this would be a good solution for vSphere; depends,
e.g. on how many vlans people typically have. We could of course
also go
to managing networks explicitly and making 'network' an add'l
parameter
for the create instance call.

Do the VM's you launch into a vlan only have one NIC, or is it
necessary
to talk about multiple NIC's and connect those to different vlans ?
