VIO API network issue

Hello everyone ,

im about to install VIO 4.1.0.0 on top of my vmware infrastructure but i got an issue with API network, it said that virtual machines IP addresses are in use however im pretty sure that they are not.

vcenter is reachable by vio manager and the DNS works fine, API network doesnt accept any ip address but if i provide the ip of the Default gateway to the load balancer it goes well ! im confused 😕 Can anyone please help me ? Thank you in advance

It's been awhile since activity on this one, but I'm seeing the same issue.  I've been able to create a successful deployment but using a public IP (22.1.1.100) and not a private (192.168.100.100).  Of course this is less than desirable.  I had to set up many static routes to accommodate this in many places.

So my WORKING API is 22.1.1.100

And my WORKING Management is 192.168.101.50 - 192.168.101.55

Any additional information available on this topic?
