Public bug reported:
When I use terraform to clone an Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS template in (with
open-vm-tools 2:10.2.0-3~ubuntu0.16.04.1 installed), the network
interface isn't configured, and toolsDeployPkg.log includes:
DEBUG: Command: '/sbin/ifconfig eth0 2> /dev/null'
DEBUG: Result:
DEBUG: Exit Code: 256
But, our network interface is really ens192. So, I tried disabling
predictable network interface names in the template by setting
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0"
in /etc/default/grub, and then everything worked.
Also, an otherwise identical template with open-vm-tools
2:10.0.7-3227872-2ubuntu1 has no issues configuring the network
interface.
