Using a Static IP Address for Application Manager with vCenter Server
Can Result in an Access Issue
If you use vCenter Server to deploy Application Manager Appliance using a static IP address and an access
issue occurs, a specific misconfiguration might exist.
Problem
Either you cannot access the Operator Web interface, or if you catch the problem earlier, you realize when you
configure the Access Manager virtual appliance that Application Manager is using a DHCP IP address instead
of the static IP address that you provided when you deployed the virtual appliance.
Cause
You did not configure the respective vCenter Server IP pool correctly. This setting overrides the configurations
you made while deploying the virtual appliance. Therefore, when you deploy the Application Manager virtual
appliance, even though you set the IP allocation policy to Fixed and provide a static IP address, Application
Manager uses a DHCP IP address instead.
Solution
1 Return to vCenter Server and Configure the respective IP Pool to use static IP addresses.
2 Deploy the Application Manager virtual appliance again, setting the IP allocation policy to Fixed and
providing the static IP address for the virtual appliance.
