having an issue with importing VMs into the baremetal engine
Submitted by Kenneth D Foster on March 20, 2007 - 8:57am.
Here is my scenario.
I have a single OpenSUSE VM with 3 NICs defined with hard coded IP addresses, and NAT'd. I need them to have their specific IPs when put into MOKA and I need it NAT'd because I have a windows Machine running in MOKA5 that has to talk to it. It doesn't have to talk on the internet so I don't care that the IP addresses i've give it aren't necessarily routable out of the physical machine.
The problem is that when I import it into the bare metal edition the graphical configuration only shows one adapter (not the 3 that are configured), this isn't necessarily bad but i thought i'd point it out. When I boot it up i see all 3 adapters, however they are not keeping the IP address and they are grabbing IP addresses from the MOKA5 DHCP Server. And, no matter what I do, i can't seem to assign statics to the interfaces anymore.
I'd be very grateful for any assistance.
Check if all the VMware NICs

Check if all the VMware NICs are in the VMX configuration file.
Select the LivePC, Configure, Edit, Show Generated VMX file. If the other ethernetX entries are missing, you can add them by manually. You can probably compare the OpenSUSE VMX to the Windows VMX to use as a base.

they are in the VMX file

They are in the VMX file but they aren't keeping the configuration I had given them in VMware.
I switched OpenSUSE out to Redhat and it works fine. Thats good enough for me. I've spent way too much time troubleshooting this particular problem.
thank you for your help though.
additional comments
The two Windows machines i have imported are keeping their network configurations. Its just the linux machine that is not keeping the config.
The Windows machines each have 3 NICs as well.
