Issue allocating IP addresses on vRA8

[mulliganesx]

Unable to allocate an IP address.  Continuously receiving a .169 after customization.  I found a related article about including 'assignment: static' but no luck. 

Using below code

formatVersion: 1

inputs:

  os-image:

    type: string

    oneOf:

      - title: Windows Server 2016

        const: Windows Server 2016

      - title: Windows Server 2019

        const: Windows Server 2019

    title: Select Operating System

    description: Specify which OS to be deployed on the machine.

  hardware-config:

    type: string

    oneOf:

      - title: Small

        const: Small

      - title: Medium

        const: Medium

      - title: Large

        const: Large

    title: Machine Size

    description: Specify size of the VM.

To add to the above thread, I can verify that the deployed VM is displaying on the correct port group, as well as the vNIC displaying the correct port group as well.  Still receiving the 169.x.x.x address

Have you setup an IP range in your network profile?

[mulliganesx]

Yes, I have a network profile created.  I already added a network, and when selecting "Manage IP Ranges" I defined a start IP address and a end IP address. 

I also confirmed the IP range defined do not have a VM assigned to it, as I know this can also impact deployment.  Not sure what I set incorrectly, this seemed simpler in 7.x

VMware tools installed on the template?

[mulliganesx]

Alright I ended up creating the networks from scratch and starting over again.  It may not have liked that I changed the default naming of the "Cloud_vSphere_Network_1" so I deleted what I had and reverted back to basic.  I will stick with the out of the box for the future unless there is a use case for that..

I just ran 2 tests with success... so I was able to figure it out, but thank you for trying to help.  

I will post what I ended up going with below, I also included an additional line for adding storage.  The storage line works great.
