How to make the clients take IPs from DHCP in a vlan diferrent than the VLAN of the servers

On your DHCP Server you will need to setup a scope for the subnet you want to serve, then you will need to setup DHCP Relay agents in that subnet (typically done on the device that sits in between the VLANs - On Cisco devices its configured using the ip helper-address command).  See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Host_Configuration_Protocol#DHCP_relaying

Hi,

You can create a port group with a different VLAN, attach your parent VM on it, and then deploy your VMs.

My case is the thin clients are in vlan1 and connected with switches to another vlan (servers vlan) in other place and I want to make the client load VMs from the servers but with vlan 1 ips

Hi,

I don't understand what you are trying to do. Can you attach a screenshot of your ESX network configuration (vswitch view).

Hi,

It is possible to separate thin client of your view server, but view server should be able to reach the other network and resolve all DNS entries.

You need to create a second portgroup for example, configure the correct vlan and add your VMs on it. Then configure your DHCP server for this VLAN.
