CloudForms unable to update the host/IP details for VMware Virtual Machine

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

  • Though we are supplying VM name and network details via CloudForms Provision Virtual Machines diaglog, when VM gets created, we do not see the hostname IP information gets updated within the VM.

  • We are doing a clone oeration of RHLE6 template in a ESXi 5.1 environment. CloudForms able to create the VM using the name provided via Provision dialog but doesn't update within RedHat Linux OS.

  • I have a service dialog box with 3 fields service_name, vm_name and ip_addr. This is used in a service catalog item to provision a VMware VM from template. However, after provisioning only the service name and the name of the VM are changed. The hostname and IP address within the VM are still from the template].

Environment
