Hi,
I'm trying to write a script to import some (previously backed up) VMs from vCenter into vCD, build up a vapp with them and then save it to a catalog. It's a script to replace a lengthy manual "restore" process - in case of a disaster.
vCD vapps are different from "normal" ones in vCenter - so it's not like you can just export the current vapp from vCD and then re-import it.
There are a lot of good bits and pieces available online - and I can import my vms from vCenter and add them to a vapp in vCD. I can create the isolated network for my vapp but here's where I'm stuck.
I'm trying to work out where to set the network settings for vCD VMs in a vapp - to attach their NICs to this isolated network (there is also a "ip mode" setting and an ip address that may need to be set).
After that I just need to set the startup order and delays in the vapp settings - and the rest should be easy.
I've already found ways to save the vapp in to a catalog (when it's ready) - so it's just the NIC configurations and vapp startup configurations I'm working out.
"Normal" VM settings don't work, so I'm trawling through the extensiondata trying to find the right place for these settings. I was just wondering if anyone has done this before?
Thanks.
