A VMware network record names the network and identifies one or more IP pools assigned to it. Before you beginRole required: cloud_admin, vmware_operator About this task An IP pool is a collection of IP addresses that are available for provisioning virtual machines.Note: If your organization does not use ServiceNow Discovery, and you will run the Discover vCenter Data utility to collect network data from vCenter, you must create the IP Pools for your system before running the utility. When you provision a new virtual machine (VM) through vCenter, select a VMware network (Select Datacenter, Network, and Folder Orchestration activities). Orchestration assigns an available IP address from the VMware network's IP pool to the new virtual machine. If the VMware network contains multiple IP pools, Orchestration selects an IP address from the pool with the most available addresses. Procedure Navigate to Configuration > VMware Cloud > Networks. Select a network from the list. In the IP Pools related list, click Edit to add an existing IP network to the network. Add additional IP pools to the list. Click Save. The new IP pool appears in the related list in the VMware vCenter Network form. Configure an IP poolAn administrator must ensure that there are IP pools associated with all active VMware networks, and that the IP pools contain enough IP addresses to meet the demand for new VMs. Enable extended IP address selection for VMware VMsYou can offer a requester the choice of IP address for the requested VM from an IP address pool on an external system.Related ConceptsOrchestration activities On this page Send Feedback Previous Topic Next Topic
