I know from where it comes. I done this by propose. Do you have in your vCenter machine that does not have IPv4?

I know that VIJava doesn't require it. the problem in question was related to NIC configuration. it was changing NIC adapter labels for no obvious reason. in most cases, it seemed that the change was a no-op. it put them back in a functionally identical state. but in certain cases, it did not and effectively brought the VM off the network. — Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub<https://github.com/jclouds/jclouds-labs/pull/61#issuecomment-54719659>. --- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/jclouds/jclouds-labs/pull/61#issuecomment-54738767
