Hey Jerry, Custom ip allocation failure leads to vm deploy failure. Happens in following cases: ==================================================================================== * If ipAddress doesn't exist in the network. * If requested ip address exists in the network, but already allocated. * If network model doesn't support custom ip allocation (see list of cases below), the runtime exception "Does not support custom ip allocation at this time" is being thrown.
Custom ip allocation is SUPORTED FOR - * Guest Virtual Network * Direct network in Advanced zone NOT SUPPORTED - * ExternalFirewall setup case. The reason for not supporting: the original ip can be changed automatically by ExternalGuestNetworkGuru after the vm is stopped/started. * Basic zone - as we have 1 Global Network, but separate ip ranges per each Pod, so the decision about which ip address to take happens after Allocators figure out the destination Pod. If you specify the ip address of Pod2, and allocators will pick up Pod1 - the vm creation will fail. So you can figure out which case might explain your problem to the best extent possible.

The IP address as one of parameters is provided to API However, I found it didn’t work well, The IP address of creating VM is not what I provided for API. Eg, using IP1 as the parameter, the vm operational IP addr is IP2 Why does this issue happen? Thanks Jerry
