Hi All,


I'm trying to deploy Nova (Essex 2012.1) on Vmware ESXi 4.1 server. I did it 
using FlatDHCP networking mode and everything was working as expected. But now 
VlanManager compliants well to our requirements so thought of trying it. But 
when i use VlanManager for networking with ESXi, the newly booted machines are 
not getting IP address. The DHCP server does not seem to be accesible by the 
instances. My compute node is running on the ESXi itself and is using the same 
bridge to which the instances will be connected.



Following is the snippet of my nova.conf:

--connection_type=vmwareapi
--vmwareapi_wsdl_loc=http://xx.xx.xx.xx:8080/wsdl/vim25/vimService.wsdl
--vmwareapi_host_ip=xx.xx.xx.xx
--vmwareapi_host_password=password_here
--vmwareapi_host_username=root

--vmware_vif_driver=nova.virt.vmwareapi.vif.VMWareVlanBridgeDriver

--vmwareapi_vlan_interface=vmnic1 #vmnic1 is used to provision the instances 
and the compute is also connected to vmnic1



Has anyone worked with ESXi with Vlan mode of networking?



Regards,

Hemanth Rao D
