Hi Ilya and Geoff, I’m running CS 4.4.2 with a Basic zone, so I’m not able to assign multiple IPs to a single instance (at least not that I’ve found). The hypervisor is VMware 5.5. I’m not sure what other information to provide.. it’s a pretty simple setup.
Thanks for the ideas! -Franky On May 10, 2015, at 3:06 AM, Geoff Higginbottom <geoff.higginbot...@shapeblue.com> wrote: > Franky, > > Can you share more info about you config, e.g. Is it a Basic or Advanced > Network, and what hypervisor are you using etc. > > Ilya¹s suggestion of using a VM to Œreserve¹ IP¹s works really well, but > if I can understand your environment better, I may be able to make some > other suggestions as well. > > Regards > > Geoff Higginbottom > CTO / Cloud Architect > > D: +44 20 3603 0542 <tel:+442036030542> | S: +44 20 3603 0540 > <tel:+442036030540> | M: +447968161581 <tel:+447968161581> > > geoff.higginbot...@shapeblue.com | www.shapeblue.com > <htp://www.shapeblue.com/> | Twitter:@cloudstackguru > <https://twitter.com/#!/cloudstackguru> > > ShapeBlue Ltd, 53 Chandos Place, Covent Garden, London, WC2N 4HS > <x-apple-data-detectors://5> > > > > > On 09/05/2015 21:43, "ilya" <ilya.mailing.li...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Not certain what version you are running, but in my test 4.3 (advanced >> shared zone), i have 1 VM that i call IP -tracker - its always offline >> and has 1cpu x 64mb offering.
