change linux guest ip address @

[cemdur]

is it possible to change linux guest ip address with dr-ip-customizer ? when i apply csv file configuration i get the following error ;

"There were VMs that were not able to be attached customizations.

The VM corresponding to id 'shadow-vm-8731' was not able to be attached a custom ization because its guest OS is not supported."

ps : gues os is solaris 10

What is your version of vCenter and SRM?

-Edit: I now see your guest O/S is Solaris, not Linux. No documentation in front of me right now but I only recall 4 flavours of Linux being supported and Solaris is not Linux.

This is a tough one to track but the SRM compatibility matrix (http://www.vmware.com/pdf/srm_compat_matrix_4_0.pdf) says that all Guest OS supported for IP customization by vSphere are supported by SRM. Makes sense, no? The online vSphere Compatibility Guide does not outline customization support (http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php?deviceCategory=software).

What I do see in the vSphere compatibility matix (http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r40/vsp_compatibility_matrix.pdf) starting page 15 is a column for "Guest OS Cust." support. Solaris is not listed as a supported guest OS for IP customization.

Thanks for help. I need a solution . Do you think that it is possible with vShpere PowerCLI ?

[TimOudin]

Well, a script can be executed from SRM but PowerCLI itself if not going to do you a lot of good. It can still be done though since almost anything in a UNIX machine can be scripted. Write a shell/perl script(s) to make all of your required file modifications, kick off that script remotely via perl installed on the vCenter/SRM server.
