OVFTool - vmware tools ip assignment on esxi free hypervisor.

Hi.


I ran into a problem when deploying an ova using ovftool with pre-installed vmware-tools. Once the appliance is booted up the IP address isn't dynamically assigned to it even though the appliance has vmware-tools pre-installed. That only happens on the ESXi free hypervisor and it works fine on the licesed version of the ESXi. I was under impression that ESXi free hypervisor provides full functionality for vmware-tools? If that's not the case, is there any other way of dynamically assigning an IP address to newly created ova?


Thanks.
