Assigning Static IPs to Harvester VMs

Harvester
1

I have a Harvester cluster. I want to create 3 VMs. The VMs will be part of a Kubernetes cluster. For this, the VMs need constant IPs, which causes issues with the mgmt cluster network which insists on giving a new IP to VMs on restart.

Currently, I do the following:

- Set node specs
- Choose VM image (openSUSE)
- Set network options (use bridge, not masquerade)
- Add cloud config for static IP.

However, when the VM is created, it is still assigned an IP by harvester.

Cloud Config:

network:
  version: 1
  config:
    - type: physical
      name: eth0
      subnets:
        - type: static
          address: 192.168.23.14/27
          gateway: 192.168.23.1
          dns_nameservers:
            - 8.8.8.8

Harvester will nonetheless provide another IP address to the VM, and the VM will not be accessible on either of the 2 IPs.

If it’s relevant, I installed the harvester-vm-dhcp-controller addon for allocating IPs in my LAN to VMs in Harvester. However, the issue persists whether the addon is enabled or not.

I have also created VM networks, both DHCP and manual, but there is no change.

Which Harvester version? Some related issues to consider: 5452 and feature 5052
