HI, I am looking at the beta version here and since we don't use DHCP for servers I was wondering how I manually set the IP information for this appliance ?
Thanks
Just wanted to follow up. If your question is answered, can you please mark as answered?
I will ensure this information gets into the Installation and Administration Guide.
Hey - did your question get answered? If so, can you mark it as answered?
Well I am running this stand-alone so its not in a vApp so I need to set network settings manually. I managed to get the IP set on the appliance but I am not sure how to get the gateway and DNS settings on there. It is a Linux appliance so I can't see what you can't manually set the IP and I don't know why VMware didn't build a configuration interface into the appliance.
So if the only answer is you can't manually set the IP then I guess my question was answered.
Correct, the virtual appliance is not a vApp. However, if you go to edit settings of the VM then you will notice vApp options, which allows you to configure the network settings manually assuming the virtual machine is powered off. Please note that setting the IP address directly on the virtual appliance is not supported and may result in your settings being overridden.
Thanks for the feedback on adding the configuration interface into the appliance - we will consider this for a future release.
In short, the only supported way to set static network configuration is through the vApp options via the edit settings section of the virtual appliance.
