Network label on linked clones don't get get updated after recompose

[ecleppe]

Hi,

I'm trying to move my floating linked clone desktops to a new subnet.  So what I did is delete the snapshot, change the network adapter settings on the golden image to match the new VLAN, create a new snapshot and point my pool to use it.

After the recompose, my linked clones still have the adapter set to the incorrect VLAN.

Am I missing something?

Thx

Existing network settings for existing VMs will be preserved on recompose operations, as you've seen. The feature you want to use is the ability to assign multiple network labels to a pool, introduced in 5.2. Network labels are then explicitly allocated after provisioning and refit operations. You can change the pool settings to have the new network label set, then do the recompose operation. See VMware View 5.2 Documentation Library for more details.

Can you update the VM's manually through the vSphere client or is that not recommended?
