Hello Alanoud, Not sure why your not seeing that 2nd nic in your esxi server. Maybe it's driver related?
Yes currently, you will need two nics for vcl to function one for private and one for public. Yes, you will need them for image capture. During the reload process of the image after the image is successfully captured, if the public nic is not there vcld can't set a static address or retrieve a dhcp assigned address(depending on which IP configuration method you have setup.) You could probably work around it by creating a second vlan on the same single nic and have that be the public interface, At least until you get the physical nic issue figured out.
