Hi,
We're trying to customise a workflow to create a DNS entry for a provisioned VM, at the end of the provisioning process. I can't see an obvious way to make this happen, was hoping someone could give us some ideas.
We have Linux blueprint, which performs a kickstart, and installs the vCAC agent as part of the kickstart. That all works fine, and the VM gets the right name and IP address.
What we'd like is to have a process kick off at the end of the provisioning stage (after the VM has booted, and take it's IP address from the Network Profile) that creates a DNS entry for the machine.
The reverse would need to happen when the machine gets destoyed.
It looks like customising a workflow stub isn't going to help, because there's no 'stage' that represents the VM having been booted and having picked up it's correct IP from the pool.
I have seen some scripts that create DNS entries, but they look like they run inside the provisioned VM, which is a no-go for us, for a variety of reasons.
Can anyone point us in the right direction on this one?
Thanks,
Alex
