Question :
We are in process of deploying Centos-7.4 with Ovftool. We created a vm with two interfaces, with hardware version as 8. The host doesn't have any hostname/IP's. From the vm we made a OVF image and deployed a new vm by below command, the ovtool deployed vm over VCenter and VM is up. The problem is ovftool not mapping IP's fqdn and dns properties specified. We are able to see the properties configured in vApp, but not reflecting inside VM. The vmware tools status showing as (running 3rd party independent). is the vm deployed by ovtool with reference image should contain IP's. Please help us with resolution. /usr/lib/vmware-ovftool/ovftool.bin -q --overwrite --powerOffTarget --powerOn --acceptAllEulas --skipManifestCheck --net:web_vlan=Prod_Nw --net:Netapp_vlan=Str_Nw --diskMode=thin --datastore=PRD-CLU01 --name=prdvm14 --vmFolder=PRD/V2 --prop:fqdn=prdvm14.company.colo --prop:dns_0=10.11.18.250 --prop:dns_1=10.11.18.251 --prop:dns_2=10.11.18.252 --prop:web_ip=10.11.21.14 --prop:nm_web=255.0.0.0 --prop:gw_web=10.11.21.2 --prop:ip_storage=10.11.88.100 --prop:nm_storage=255.0.0.0 http://prdrep01/centos/7.4/ova/centos-7.4.ovf vi://admin:pass@10.11.18.60/PROD/host/Cluster01/Resources/
