Configure abiquo properties for static IP injection Linux

To configure guest setup to use static IP addresses when DCHP is not available, set the following Abiquo Configuration Properties as required for Linux.

  1. Abiquo will use these waitpassword properties to prevent user access to a newly deployed VM until the user can access the VM with the initial password.
    On the Remote Services server, edit the abiquo.properties file, and add the following property with a value greater than 0.

    com.abiquo.esxi.experimental.customize.waitpassword.timeoutms=900000

    The recommended value is 900000 milliseconds, which is 15 minutes.

    You can also change the default time to wait between checks when checking if guest tools has applied the new password 

    com.abiquo.esxi.experimental.customize.waitpassword.periodms=10000
  2. You can also change the default number of times to validate the template credentials.

    com.abiquo.esxi.experimental.customize.configure.currentloginretry=5
  3. You can also configure these additional properties for your environment to ensure the operating system has time to start up and run guest tools.

    # Time in milliseconds to wait for guest tools to be running after power on. The default value is 15 minutes
    com.abiquo.esxi.experimental.customize.configure.timeoutms=900000
    
    # Time in milliseconds to wait between checks when checking if guest tools is running after power on
    com.abiquo.esxi.experimental.customize.configure.periodms=10000
