@Dave: you are right about advanced networks but the original question was in relation to basic networking.
@All: I did some testing over a year ago around changing IPs for guest. For a VM on and advanced network you can edit the IP directly in the database but restarting the VM is not enough, you have to also restart the virtual Router for that network. The new 4.1 add NIC API call Dave is referring to is great and to me one of the best new features of 4.1, but again it's only for advanced networking so no good for the original problem. The multiple IPs to a single NIC has been discussed a lot, but I believe it is still in development.

If someone wants to put a 10.x.x.x ip on a VM that is on a 192.x.x.x network, then they can gladly shoot themselves in the foot. Ideally the person making such a change understands the 'basic's of advanced networking in CloudPlatform. Otherwise they should stick the UI.;) @Jason: Look in the cloud.nics table. The nics for VMs are defined here. Modify as needed. A restart of the VM to make sure it all works is highly recommended. In our testing environment I can move a VM from one network to another, add nics, change IP's etc quite easily. Some of the 4.1 API will add this functionality (add nics for example to an existing VM). But there's still a lot of immutable things in CloudPlatform that shouldn't be, and that maybe one day will be a feature. We just need to make the requests for those features.

There's no technical reason this wouldn't work and likely a feature a lot of people would love to see. The only hold back is the UI not allowing you to do so. Ultimately, you can go to the DB and change the VM's IP in the nics table to what you want (reboot the VM and the IP change will occur). Which is not the preferred way to do so, but ultimately that functionality from the UI would be ideal. Even going as far as intergrating IPAM functionality into the product would be ideal.

In an advanced zone, you can specify the IP address when you create a new VM using the API, however in a basic zone, because the IP will depend on which POD your VM ends up in, and as a user you cannot influence this, there is no way to specific the IP, even if you are a root admin. The reason it still fails when you manually change the IP is that the security groups feature is expecting the VM to have the IP CloudStack allocated it via DHCP.
