Network Adapter issue inside instances

[rajuroks]

Hi, NIC's are not  created inside the instances deployed from vcac 6.2, am deploying from clone templates network profiles are configured properly and VM is getting nic with correct port group but inside the VM I cant see the nic which is not getting any IP issue for both Linux and Windows machines

do you have customization scripts specified in the blue print?

[rajuroks]

YEah gone through prev posts now am configuring custom specs, is it mandatory if we clone?

Was about the ask the same question as @willonit. vRa will just generate the IP address you need to have Customization scripts as part of the clone operation which will use the ip address generated by vRA/

If you trying to assign ip its required see the below thread for some more information related to this.

how to change the network adapter type, by default it is taking felexible

[willonit]

Set the custom property VMware.Network.Type

VMware.Network.Type

Specifies a network adapter type. The following adapter type values are available: ■ Flexible (default ) ■ VirtualPcNet32. This type is not compatible with vSphere ■ E1000 or VirtualE1000 ■ VMXNET or VirtualVMXNET ■ VMXNET2 ■ VMXNET3 Set to E1000 when provisioning Windows 32-bit virtual machines on ESX server hosts to ensure that machines are created with the correct network adapter. This property is not used in physical provisioning.

See this thread for reference. Editing a VM in vCAC 6.0.1.1 configures incorrect Network Adapter type
