adding nics to a vm in vmware built by juju deploy

[Daniel Bidwell]

I have a vmware server that I am using as the target for deploying vms
with juju.  I have a set of vms that need multiple nics on different
vlans/vmware networks.  I want the vm to be on the primary network, but
also have nics for 4 other secondary networks.

Once the vm is deployed, vmware considers it locked and will not let me
add additional nics.  Is there a way to unlock it?  Or is there a way
to deploy the vm with the nics installed from the start?

I didn't see anything in the online docs about adding additional
networks to the constraints clause of the deploy.  If this feature is
not available at this time, could it be considered for the future?

I'm not familiar if there's any way to unlock/force through VMWare but Juju
doesn't currently support the idea of adding nics to running instances at
this moment. It's something we're definitely looking for the future as
clouds do support things like hot plugging nics. It might be worth a test
to see if you can adjust the nics on the VMWare side. In some cases you can
work around Juju like adding storage to the root disk by upgrading the
instance through the cloud tooling.

Our VMWare Vcenter is running version 6.5.  There are 2 sets of tools,
one in flash which is supposed to be going away and one in html5.  The
html5 version doesn't support all of the features it needs to yet.  The
html5 views the juju created vms as locked, but the flash version
allows us to edit them as needed.

We work with the tools that are available and throw out ideas for
features that would improve it.

Love the juju tools!  Great work everyone!

That's strange, I can edit any juju-created VM, as long as I shut it down
first. I can add extra interfaces and change ram, cpu and disk.
