Andrei, The QuickCloudNoService Network Offering provides no DHCP, or any other services (clues in the name) so it's not really a bug as the add / remove NIC features require DHCP to be enabled on the Network.
I have tested this procedure using the default 'DefaultIsolatedNetworkOfferingWithSourceNatService' network offering and it works like a charm Regards Geoff Higginbottom D: +44 20 3603 0542 | S: +44 20 3603 0540 | M: +447968161581 geoff.higginbot...@shapeblue.com -----Original Message----- From: Andrei Mikhailovsky [mailto:and...@arhont.com] Sent: 19 December 2013 14:36 To: users@cloudstack.apache.org Subject: Re: Change of guest IP address Geoff, Thanks for your reply. This is the first route i tried to take, but it didn't work for me. When I tried to remove the NIC from the guest i had an error message complaining that the network offering does not have dhcp service or something like that. I did not take a note of the actual message. This was after i've changed the default NIC to a temporary nic. The NIC that I have is from a service offering called QuickCloudNoService. I guess it's a bug... I will try the db route and see if it works.

Assign the VM a new 'temp' NIC on an alternate network 2. Set this new NIC to default 3. Remove original NIC 4. Assign a NIC on the original Network, but also set the required IP (hence using API and not UI) 5. Set this new NIC to default 6. Remove the temp NIC API commands required are addNicToVirtualMachine http://cloudstack.apache.org/docs/api/apidocs-4.2/root_admin/addNicToVirtualMachine.html updateDefaultNicForVirtualMachine http://cloudstack.apache.org/docs/api/apidocs-4.2/root_admin/updateDefaultNicForVirtualMachine.html removeNicFromVirtualMachine http://cloudstack.apache.org/docs/api/apidocs-4.2/root_admin/removeNicFromVirtualMachine.html Whilst there are 6 steps, a simple CloudMonkey Script could complete this process in around 30 secs Regards Geoff Higginbottom D: +44 20 3603 0542 | S: +44 20 3603 0540 | M: +447968161581 geoff.higginbot...@shapeblue.com -----Original Message----- From: Jayapal Reddy Uradi [mailto:jayapalreddy.ur...@citrix.com] Sent: 19 December 2013 11:27 To: <users@cloudstack.apache.org> Subject: Re: Change of guest IP address Hi, There is no other way to change the ip. If you want specific IP for the VM, you can get secondary ip in vm NICs page and configure it on the VM.
