Hello, Ok, I actually have tried many times to create a base image. I had it with NIC 1 in the private network and NIC 2 in the public previously.
Each time, when VCL deletes my base image and copies it back to the VM server, the networks on the nics are REVERSED. When I start with nic 1 in Private and nic 2 in Public, it ends up with nic 1 in Pub and nic 2 in Priv. When I start with nic 1 in Public and nic 2 in Private, it ends up with nic 1 in Priv and nic 2 in Pub. The VM host profile has Virtual Switch 0 in Public and Virtual Switch 1 in Private. The DHCP server is only listening on the private network. I see unauthorized dhcp requests come in for public network IP addresses when VCL swaps them. In the last attempt, I did something new: When the new image is brought up, I manually swapped the nics back before VCL times out waiting for the image to boot. At that time, it declares the image a success, but it should not need such manual intervention. Any clues why VCL decides to swap the networks ?

The sshd configuration script that you ran on your base image typically closes ssh access over the public network, but if the two networks are switched, you may have inadvertently cut off access over the private network.

I continue to have issues creating a base image on our vcl setup. Here is my info: I have a single server running web, management node, and database. It has two interfaces, one on our private network, another on our public net. I have a single Vmware server, also with two interfaces. One interface, switch 0, is on our public net. It also has the VM management net. Another interface, switch 1, is on our private net. Each of these switches is labeled the same as in the Management node config. When I create the base image to capture, I create eth0 (nic1) on the public network, then I create eth1 (nic2) on the private network. I set them both to dhcp, and the dhcp server on the VCL server responds and gives it an address of an image in my database. I set the ssh key in the new image. I set the image in /etc/hosts so that the server can resolve it. I set the vcld to capture the image, It begins and copies the image to the management node directory, It deletes the image from the Vmware server, and re-creates the image All well and good. but then : When the recreated image comes up, The OTHER interface begins asking the dhcp server for addresses in the public network. The dhcp server denies it as non-authoritative, and the private interface never comes up. Even though it was able to dhcp previously. The image creation completes successfully, but the newly created image cannot connect to the vcl server. So, I eventually get a failure message from VCL. WHAT GIVES ???
