I am having problem exporting a VM with specific boot order. Tried KB doc below word by word and every time the VM is deployed from OVF settings is not there.
VMware KB: Changing the boot order of a virtual machine using vmx options
- bios.bootOrder = "ethernet5,ethernet2,hdd,cdrom,floppy"
- bios.hddOrder = "scsi2:2,scsi0:1,ide1:0"
Results are not consistent, machine boots to second drive but when exported it points back to primary drive.
Tested so far in vSphere 5.5u2:
- unregister vm , apply changes to vmx, boots correctly but during export/import settings missing
- via vsphere client, add 2 row under custom parameters, unregister, reregister settings doesnt show up.
- via vsphere web client same procedure doesnt work..
Anyone have tips on how to retain these settings when exported???? Anyone know how to modify this setting in the OVF file?
