Hello Everyone,

I am experiencing a strange issue in VMM 2012 R2 UR1.

I have 2 ip pools available. 1 of the pools has 1 ip adres available. Whenever i deploy a VM using automatic assignment of the ip adres, it takes the last ip from the pool and the VM is created. However, when i first create a Virtual Machine configuration file with specific NIC settings (ipv4address) the job fails with the message that there are no remaining IPv4 addresses available.

==========

Error (23722)
Configuration issues related to the NIC with ID [352280c0-477c-4188-842f-c34523a3bf0e] of VM [XXXX] prevent deployment.

Recommended Action
Get ratings for the virtual machine to determine an appropriate host and try the operation again.


Error (23776)
The VM [XXXX] could not be placed on cloud [XXXX] due to the following issues:

(4 / 4) 3525

No connected IP address pool with remaining IPv4 addresses could be identified to supply an address for the network adapter.
 Network adapter ID: 352280c0-477c-4188-842f-c34523a3bf0e



Recommended Action
Ensure that there are no operations occurring on virtual machine XXXX and attempt placement again.

==========

It looks like i am hitting a bug. The ip assignment to the NIC in the template sets the available amount of addresses to 0. Does anyone have the same experience? And if so, perhaps a solution? :)

Thanks in advance,
Ivo

Hi Ivo,

Did you ever sort out this issue as the problem still exists in the latest update of system center, it's an extremely annoying situation and we haven't been able to figure out a workaround.

Thanks,

Will
