Description

Getting below error while powering on a VM deployed from ova using deploy_ova.py:
Property 'a. Static IP' must be configured for the VM to power on

How do I set dhcp before deploying the ova so that there isn't any such error and deployed vm can be powered on.

Guys, I am new to this. Please let me know anymore inputs that you needed.

Research direction

Start with deploy_ova.py and the reported vSphere power-on error, then inspect how the script configures networking before deployment. Determine where DHCP or the required static IP property must be set and verify the deployed VM can power on without the error; no test file is mentioned.
