No DHCP allowed

Hi! I'd love to set up foreman in my new environment but DHCP is not
allowed . . . I haven't worked with foreman in a couple of years; will I
be missing much functionality without DHCP?

Thanks a lot!!

Yes and no (from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yes_Minister)

Your question is too broad. Describe your setup and intentions. Then we

Not fully, so thanks for following up!

I would like to bring up foreman in a vmware environment (where I don't
think i even need DHCP . . ?) and automate the server/os deployment
life-cycle using vmware templates, puppet, bind updates and katello.

I'm not sure I added much color there :frowning:

Thanks again,
Guy

There was an answer bringing light onto the topic I believe.

You can do this and you don't need DHCP for image-based provisioning of
course. There are some limitations of the VmWare integration, in the
worst case you can create the VMs in the VmWare GUI.
