I have a Vmware template for RHEL 6.4, the template is using the static ip
(if that matters?). Now, when I try to create a new vm using that template,
it goes through but stuck at waiting for it to be online. I want that once
I click submit, it should use the template, use the static IP provided,
host name provided and once the vm's up, puppet agent should install and
all ( which is taken care by default kickstart ). I've been trying to do
this since a while now, couldn't even find any documentation on this one.
Any ideas?? Thanks in advance
I believe the template needs to be set up to use DHCP so that Foreman can
allocate an IP automatically, then SSH to that IP to perform post-setup
steps.

recommend DHCP, is so we know the network address.)
Other failures might be the wrong username/password encoded in the
template versus what's entered on the image configuration under the
compute resource.

Great! That worked, thanks but the process is not much helpful to provision
vm. Is there a way we can encode to use static ip within the templates by
any chance. Thanks in advance.
