Specify IP Address for N/W card 4

Hi All,

I am trying to create an OVF using vSphere client with additional properties.

I want that during import of this OVF ( using vSphere client ) a dailog should come asking for IP configuration for eth3 only.

i.e. My VM has 4 network cards. Of which only eth3 is mapped to vSwitch0 of the ESX and is only visible to the external world.

I created new property types by following:

RightClick on VM -> Edit Settings -> options -> Advanced -> Properties

Related part of the exported ovf looks like:

{{{

</ProductSection>
    <ProductSection ovf:class="vami" ovf:instance="VAS_SMS">
      <Info>Information about the installed software</Info>
      <Category>Networking Properties</Category>
      <Property ovf:key="DNS" ovf:type="string" ovf:userConfigurable="true">
        <Label>DNS</Label>
        <Description>The domain name servers for this VM (comma separated).</Description>
      </Property>
      <Property ovf:key="Gateway" ovf:type="string" ovf:userConfigurable="true" ovf:value="xx.xx.xx.xx">
        <Label>Gateway</Label>
        <Description>Gateway address for this VM</Description>
      </Property>
      <Property ovf:key="ip3" ovf:type="string" ovf:userConfigurable="true">
        <Label>Network 3 IP Address</Label>
        <Description>The IP address for this interface</Description>
      </Property>
      <Property ovf:key="netmask3" ovf:type="string" ovf:userConfigurable="true" ovf:value="xx.xx.xx.xx">
        <Label>Network 3 Netmask</Label>
        <Description>The netmask  for this interface.</Description>
      </Property>
    </ProductSection>

}}}

But when I import this ovf using vpshere client, The wizard shows this network properties dialog , after I give the IP in there, The VM is not taking it. !!!

Any ideas.??

I hope I am clear enough in explaining my issue.

Thanks
