adding nics to a vm in vmware built by juju deploy
I have a vmware server that I am using as the target for deploying vms with juju. I have a set of vms that need multiple nics on different vlans/vmware networks. I want the vm to be on the primary network, but also have nics for 4 other secondary networks. Once the vm is deployed, vmware considers it locked and will not let me add additional nics. Is there a way to unlock it? Or is there a way to deploy the vm with the nics installed from the start? I didn't see anything in the online docs about adding additional networks to the constraints clause of the deploy. If this feature is not available at this time, could it be considered for the future? -- Daniel Bidwell -- Juju-dev mailing list Juju-dev@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/juju-dev
Re: adding nics to a vm in vmware built by juju deploy
I'm not familiar if there's any way to unlock/force through VMWare but Juju doesn't currently support the idea of adding nics to running instances at this moment. It's something we're definitely looking for the future as clouds do support things like hot plugging nics. It might be worth a test to see if you can adjust the nics on the VMWare side. In some cases you can work around Juju like adding storage to the root disk by upgrading the instance through the cloud tooling.

Re: adding nics to a vm in vmware built by juju deploy
Our VMWare Vcenter is running version 6.5. There are 2 sets of tools, one in flash which is supposed to be going away and one in html5. The html5 version doesn't support all of the features it needs to yet. The html5 views the juju created vms as locked, but the flash version allows us to edit them as needed. We work with the tools that are available and throw out ideas for features that would improve it. Love the juju tools! Great work everyone!

Re: adding nics to a vm in vmware built by juju deploy
That's strange, I can edit any juju-created VM, as long as I shut it down first. I can add extra interfaces and change ram, cpu and disk.
