Small issue - I don't seem to have that VLAN in the ESX environment.  I'm seeing the IP range as 10.48.56 - would you happen to know the VLAN#, so I can request that it be trunked into our environs?


I've checked the infoblox settings for the test.releng.mdc1 vlan, and things look right for PXE booting there.  

Once we have the VLAN trunked in, I can create that VM and we can test/troubleshoot as needed.

(As for "Well, what *do* you have?"

VLAN 240 - Releng Wintest
VLAN 248 - Releng SRV
VLAN 275 - Releng Private
VLAN 278 - Releng RELabs
)

Thanks Chris!

Based on the panorama.private.scl3.mozilla.com.conf in gitlab, I think test.releng.mdc1 may be in VLAN 256:
```
22591                               <ip>¬
22592                                 <entry name="10.49.56.1/22"/>¬
22593                               </ip>¬
22594                               <tag>256</tag>¬
[...]
33145       <entry name="test.releng.mdc1">¬
33146         <ip-netmask>10.49.56.0/22</ip-netmask>¬ 
```

Yes, this matches what I can find elsewhere - filed in bug 1397804

:dhouse - the plumbing is in place in the UCS, and I have created your VM, it's powered off currently.  But I was able to confirm that it was able to PXE boot and at least get to the menus.  

Let me know if there's any problems.

I can see from console that it's booted and has an OS installed, so the "give me a blank VM to test with" is certainly complete, and it even looks like the test may have worked.  (yay!)

any other issues, probably would encompass other bugs, but feel free to reach out on IRC if you need anything.

Thank you Chris for setting this up and getting the vlan sorted out so quickly!

The VM kickstarted with puppetagain centos6 correctly and was able to puppetize. No problems found on runs of puppet as a disabled generic_worker.
