Hi John You can use existing DHCPd server. Once you add VCL computers (type: virtualmachine) you should get a dhcpd.conf file (for private addresses), which you need to import into your existing DHCPd server. This will allow your VCL VMs to get the right IP address. For public you don't need static DHCP, VCL will connect to a VM and pull public address during reservation. (I'm not sure you can use 10.10.11 as public, there was something in the code excluding RFC1918 addresses...) -- Thank you,

First, Does the management node have to have DHCP running? I'm assuming this is used to give IP's to compute nodes(machines handed out to users?) what happens if a DHCP server is already in place but not part of vcl? Sorry if I seem confused , as I mentioned I just started looking at this. I'm just trying to set up a proof of concept. Currently we have a vmware environment which I was thinking of using as the web server and management node and the other 3 physical machines as test boxes that will be handed out to users and perhaps one virtual machine so I can have a mixed environment with one virtual node and 3 physical nodes. Can someone help me get started. If my vmwarewebserver and management node has a 10.10.11.X address which I plan on using for public access to make reservations then my private address will need DHCP?
