Hi Daan, I think what Mike meant is the api deployvirtualmachine https://cloudstack.apache.org/api/apidocs-4.15/apis/deployVirtualMachine.html
it clearly states that api parameter `*nicnetworklist` *only works in vmware environments. *VMware only: used to specify network mapping of a vApp VMware template registered "as-is". Example nicnetworklist[0].ip=Nic-101&nicnetworklist[0].network=uuid* -Wei On Fri, 1 Oct 2021 at 15:14, Daan Hoogland <daan.hoogl...@gmail.com> wrote: > Mike, I don't recognise the commands you talk about, `networkids` and > `nicnetworklist`.
