Franky,
I've also done backend reservations when i could not find a better
solution to lock specific IP address.
This is less than ideal, since you will not be able to delete that guest
network, but it can certainly be done.
Backup your DB prior to this change.
in cloud.user_ip_address, find the ip address that needs to be locked,
set it to state=Allocated and add a timestamp into allocated field.
I use mysqlworkbench tool from Oracle, which is free and really helps
with making changes.

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,
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.

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. I use that VM to reserve IPs i dont want
cloudstack to give away.
All I do is attach a network interface i need it to be on and then under
nics i can assign more IP address to it. That feature is available in
cloudstack.

Hi Vadim,
Now that answer is spot-on. This development environment grew into a
larger site than I expected. I can migrate the VMs; they do not require
100% uptime, but the owners do like them up m-f 8-5 ya know? I plan to
build out another environment and move things into it, but that will
take some time. This is the first cloudstack installation I¹ve done and
so far things work pretty well. I¹ve had to iron out a few kinks here
and there, but things have been fine so far and I¹m reasonably pleased
with the product.
Thank you, again, for your feedback. I will look into cloud monkey, it
sounds like a tool I will find useful.
Warm regards,
Franky

Franky,
If you have to move such number of hosts at production I would
recommend you to learn CloudMonkey and have to set-up development
environment first. There you can develop migration strategy and
execute test-cases for re-partitioning the network. We all learn from
experience and there will always be better solution in the future. As
I understand the issue is not critical - everything works as expected,
but you have some unpleasant side-effects. So, be prepared - develop
new network layout, test it at development and execute the same at
production. I see no other choice. Doing changes at database level
manually is probably the worst thing you may do.
Vadim.

dirty trick: spin up vms, login, disable startup scripts/remove
kernel, brang them down and leave them there to rot. The ip will never
be used in cs again.
If you like this trick: don't operate a cloud. (don't take this as
condescending, just as my view on the thing)

I wish that were so easy. :( I have 200 VMs running across 5 hosts,
and what you described is not a process I have time to learn right
now. I do appreciate your reply and advice. Thank you!

Hello Franky,
I would not reccomend you to change database tables directly
in
order to fix errors in configuration. It is better to set-up
cloudstack again with the proper configuration.

Subject: How to reserve IPs
Hello,
I made the mistake of putting my entire /22 into cloudstack for
private
IPs. I need to put some other things into that network (like network
file storage), and I¹m wondering how I can make sure CloudStack never
tries to assign one of the IPs I Œsteal¹.
Is it as easy as updating the `state` column in the
`user_ip_address`
table to ŒAllocated¹? I¹d like to Œallocate¹ about 20 IPs for things
not created in CloudStack. Is that safe, or is there another way to
do it?
Thanks,
Franky
