Re: Base Image creation - problems - PLEASE HELP
Hello, Ok, I actually have tried many times to create a base image. I had it with NIC 1 in the private network and NIC 2 in the public previously. Each time, when VCL deletes my base image and copies it back to the VM server, the networks on the nics are REVERSED. When I start with nic 1 in Private and nic 2 in Public, it ends up with nic 1 in Pub and nic 2 in Priv. When I start with nic 1 in Public and nic 2 in Private, it ends up with nic 1 in Priv and nic 2 in Pub. The VM host profile has Virtual Switch 0 in Public and Virtual Switch 1 in Private. The DHCP server is only listening on the private network. I see unauthorized dhcp requests come in for public network IP addresses when VCL swaps them. In the last attempt, I did something new: When the new image is brought up, I manually swapped the nics back before VCL times out waiting for the image to boot. At that time, it declares the image a success, but it should not need such manual intervention. Any clues why VCL decides to swap the networks ?

The sshd configuration script that you ran on your base image typically closes ssh access over the public network, but if the two networks are switched, you may have inadvertently cut off access over the private network.

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Al, I haven't worked with setting up VM hosts much, but it sounds like you need to swap your Virtual Switches so that Virtual Switch 0 is Private and Virtual Switch 1 is Public.
