DHCP is a requirement for the private interface but you should still be
able to get it to work. I have configured similar installations before.
For the private network, you'll want to configure a VMware host-only
network, not a bridged network.
I created updated instructions to configure a standalone environment
using VMware Server 2.0:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/VCL/Configuring+a+Standalone+VCL+Environment+using+VMware+Server+2.0
The instructions haven't been tested and there are probably a couple
errors but this will hopefully point you in the right direction.
To use static public addresses, you just need to define them when you
add new computers and configure the management node to use static
addresses and specify the correct subnet mask, gateway, and DNS servers
under Management Nodes > Edit.

Thanks Andy, you have been sooo helpful!! My image seemed to capture
successfully, but it wasn't the Data Store Path I had to clear, it was
the Image repository path, then I ran setup again and it said image
capture successful... however now I can't seem to successfully reserve
the image... I still think it has something to do with the ip, do I need
to change to a static setup since I don't have a DHCP server handing out
IPs (i.e. this is a single machine running everything (vmware, Apache
VCL, management node, etc) that is located inside the network closet at
my school and is statically assigned an ip of 144.38.205.200 and I am
allowed to use IPs up til about 205.215 but they aren't handed out by a
DHCP server). Well you will probably know better, this is my log output:

Hello,
I responded earlier to your "dynamic vs static ip" message before
noticing this message. I think I see the problem. You seem to be
using the same machine as the management node and VM host but the VM
profile datastore path and repository path are the same. Configure
the VM profile to not use the image repository:
-Click "Virtual Hosts"
-Select localvmhost from the list and click "Configure Host"
-Note the value next to "VM Profile"
-Click "VM Host Profiles"
-Select the profile being used by localvmhost and click "Configure
Profile"
-Clear the value of "Data Store Path"
-Set "VM Disk" to networkdisk
Your captured image should probably work in its current state even
though the capture failed. The image capture only failed because it
was unable to make a duplicate copy of the vmdk directory in the
image repository. This feature isn't necessary if you're using a
single box or all network storage.
The only step that would have occurred if the image capture was
successful would have been to set image.deleted and
imagerevision.deleted to 0 in the database. You can easily set this
if you have phpMyAdmin installed or run 'mysql' from the command
line and execute:
UPDATE image SET deleted = '0' WHERE name = 'vmwarewin7-vm4win720-v0';
UPDATE imagerevision SET deleted = '0' WHERE imagename =
'vmwarewin7-vm4win720-v0';
Make sure the image has been put into an image group. You should
see the image in the "New Reservation" list. Try to make a reservation.
Hope this helps,
Andy
