We already had few clients with VMs before we started using vCloud Director.
These clients have some static public IPs which can't be changed and have to be used.
But when creating vDCs for each of these clients, single Public IP doesn't help as vShield Take the first 2 available IPs.
Is there any way to avoid this ?
For us we thought we could create a joint vDC for our clients and create an IP pool with two extra public IPs for vShield Manager.
But still what we are encountering is that vShield provides IPs from this pool on 1st come first serve basis. So we have to move current VMs to this vDC in a particular order so that the correct VMs get the correct IP.
Is there any way from vShield Manager or vCloud Director to make reservations based on MAC addresses before we move VMs to this joint VDC to avoid any problems?
Also, if there no MAC address based reservations and we have move these VMs for some reason, out of this vDC and bring in back, IP address issue will come up again.
Any help is much appreciated.
