Andrew -
Unfortunately in our case we assign ip-addresses from a static
pool.
So i understand the VMPayload feature will include setting up <gues_info>
ip-address, right?
Sorry that i have not read any info regarding this functionality -- when
will it be available? Thanks.
Regards,

Not today, the guest would usually just pickup from DHCP
But that's the purpose of the VMPayload feature that's being discussed - a
way to pass arbitrary data/config to the VM
