Linux Cloning and Gateways

[janetdoyle]

Hello,

If I'm cloning from a Linux template that has a gateway defined, how can I replace that gateway with a new one? I used the same procedure as I would with Windows box and that only seems to append the gateway not replace it.

Any guidance will be appreciated.

Thanks,

JD

Hi JD,

You can easily specify a new gateway IP when cloning a linux template in the same way when you clone from Windows, using CustomizationIPSettings.gateway property, which is an array. I tried the same at my end and it works.

Incase you still facing any issue, please share your customization spec, so that I can have a look at that.

Thanks.

AngelaS,

Can you tell me what setting in the Custom Spec would cause the gateway to appended?

Thanks,

Basically this gateway property is an array, which contains the list list of gateways, in order of preference. Hence, you can append a new gateway IP in the list as per your environment. Refer VirtualMachineCloneSpec.customization.nicSettingMap.adapter.gateway.
