No, that's not the problem we're having. (We *did* have that problem, and just deleting the offending rule file no lnoger works in RHEL 6, but we fixed it by creating /etc/udev/rules.d/75-persistent-net-generator.rules as a symlink to /dev/null). At this point, Linux is doing the right thing

Hello Will, You will want to disable the auto-assigned mac addresses from ESX/ESXi. Part of the requirement is to run a dhcp server on the management node, at a minimum for the private management network. With that when you add new computers you define your mac addresses upfront in the add

Hello Mike, I'm curious if the management node set to statically assign the public address. Can you double check the settings for your management node? Select Management node- Edit management Node Information and select Edit. Near the bottom. With this feature you can define how VCL handles the

Michael Could you please check that 'eth0macaddress', 'privateIPAddress' and 'hostname' (in VCL DB) matches 'hardware ethernet', 'fixed address' and 'host-name' options in dhcpd.conf for the host? Also, /etc/hosts should have an entry 'privateIPAddress hostname' for captured computer. Can

Hi Dmitri. DHCP on the backnet works as expected. eth0 is being configured correctly (gets the expected MAC address, which matches the one in dhcpd.conf). /etc/hosts is correct for both the private IP and the (intended) public-side IP. The problem is that the config file for eth1 is being

Thanks Aaron. Maybe this will be obvious when we get further into our testing, but how do you provide access to deployed hosts where the DHCP-assigned addresses are random? Are you using DynDNS? On Tue, Jun 26, 2012 at 09:36:52AM -0400, Aaron Peeler wrote: Set it to dynamic dhcp, this setting

Yes, in the vcl code during the post_load tasks of the OS modules. There is a step to collect the network configuration of the loaded node(vm or bare-metal), figure out the publicly assigned address and then update the database which is then presented to the end-user. Aaron On Tue, Jun 26, 2012
