DHCP issue with VIO 6 15330102 VDS

Hi,

We experience the issue, that deployed instances don't get a IP from the DHCP agent, so the don't get configured.

If I manually assign a IP after the deployment, the Network seems to be ok: I can ping other instances and external hosts, but not the mentioned DHCP adresses.

Our test deployment is on a nested ESXi and a VIO 6 15330102, VDS. So this should nod affected by the password bug.

The eth2 interfaces of all 3 controller nodes are attached to a Trunk port group.

Dhcp seems to run:

[root@controller-jd75b6qc54 /]# ps -eaf | grep dhcp

Ok I could fix this:

Issue "vlan based network on different nested Hosts":

I've to enable VLAN Trunking on the underlying vswitch.

Issue "flat network not working":

For DVS the documentation states: "With VDS networking, you can create a VLAN-based provider network." because for NSX deployments the term "flat" is explicit included in this statement, I conclude that "flat" is not supported for VDS.

some additional observations:

If I create a Network with network type "vlan" the DHCP assignment works, but only if the VM is on a vESXi with a controller vm.

With network type "flat" it doesn't work either.

So this seems to be more a network related issue, maybe because its nested.
