Almost there, so when we are creating a vAPP - we can select the org network:
DEV01-APP DEV01-DMZ DEV01-DB So if I understand you correctly, because we have set the default network in the template to DEV01-APP, I have to set ex_vm_network=<DEFAULT in TEMPLATE> ex_network=<NEW DESIRED NETWORK> ill test it out now :) Thanks Kash On 20 Apr 2013, at 11:48, Sengor <seng...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I know what you mean now, the GUI associates vApp template's VM network > DEV01-APP to any organisational network you select from the list (DEV01-DMZ > or DEV01-DB).
