I'm currently standing up some nested vSphere environments in vCD 5.5 for labs, demos, and some product testing and while i've done this several times, there are a couple of things that are starting to become a pain because of manual intervention.

1. When vCNS create the virtual networks, when the vApp boots, how do I have it automatically set Promiscuous mode and Forged transmits instead of having to manually do it on all of my vApp networks, then having to redo it everytime I boot the lab/demo..such a pain in the a$$.

2. When I get the vApp where I want it to be, I snapshot it, and shut it down. When I reboot somtimes I can't get to some of the ESXi hosts and it doesn't make sense other than they are set to DHCP so I can manually set the static IP's for all the connectivty, mgmt, vmotion, iscsi..etc..very weird behavior.

Any insight would be appreciated!
 
There's a better solution. Let me see if I'm allowed to hand it out.
 
I'd be curious as well since we use nested labs for classroom instruction. I don't use vCD at all though.
 
that's only for vxlan. unfortunately, I can't hand out the solution yet - it's not ready for prime time :( Prom mode is all ya got for now.
