No network in all OVAs except the DHCP

[AbouElNadar]

I am deploying the OVA templates of the OlioDB, OlioWeb and DS2DB and in the manual part of "configuring Network" it said that when I open yast2 lan I will have two networks one "Not configured" and one "DHCP" and I should delete the DHCP one.

In all of the vms I can only find one network which is the DHCP network. So should I delete it or not? If so how will I create a new one?

Anyone faced this problem??

Hi,

I think the reason for this is that you only assign one network adaptor to your vm. check in edit setting. and add a new network adaptor and assign a static ip to this adaptor.

eg. in vm console vim /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth1.

BOOTPROTO='static'

BOOTPROTO='static'

NETMASK='255.255.255.0'

IPADDR='<assign a static ip>'

NAME='VMXNET3 Ethernet Controller'

STARTMODE='auto'

USERCONTROL='no'

save the file

now delete the dhcp from yast2

run 'static network restart' without quotes

.

if you want to access your vm from putty

run 'dhcpcd eth0' without quotes

you have to run dhcpcd command every time you restart your vm
