- Hostname - the hostnames of all the computers must have a numerical part that is sequential, use a % as a placeholder where that part would be
- Start value - the first number of the numerical part of the hostname
- End value - the last number of the numerical part of the hostname
- Start IP Address - if using static public addresses, the IP addresses must be sequential; enter the first address here; if using DHCP, just enter something like 1.1.1.1
- End IP address - the last IP address of the sequence; if using DHCP, you'll need to enter something that would work out to the last address relative to Start IP Address (i.e. if adding 3 computers, use 1.1.1.1 for start and 1.1.1.3 for end)
- Start private IP Address - (optional) similar to Start IP Address, but for the private side
- End private IP Address - (optional) similar to the End IP Address but for the private side
- Start MAC Address - (optional) if mac addresses are sequential, with the first one being the private MAC address for the first computer, the second one being the public MAC address for the first computer, the third one being the private MAC address of the second computer, etc, you can enter the first one here and then have the option of generating data to add to your dhcpd.conf file later in the process.
Important: for VMware VMs, the MAC addresses you choose must be in the range 00:50:56:00:00:00 - 00:50:56:3F:FF:FF
- State - maintenance
- Owner - owner of the computer
- RAM
- Processor Speed
- Network Speed
- Type - virtualmachine
- Provisioning Engine - VMware
- check "All VM Computers" and newvmimages
- click Confirm Computers
- click Submit
- If you filled in the private address fields and the Start MAC Address, you can now enter the private IP address of the management node that will be handling these virtual machines to generate information to add to your dhcpd.conf file.
