Networking

www.vmware.com

Continuing with the example from the previous section, you can append the

following lines to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:

insmod vmxnet_console devName=vmnic1,vmnet_0

ifconfig eth1 up 10.2.0.4

ifconfig eth2 up 63.93.12.47

Another method is to set up the files /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/

ifcfg-eth1 and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth2

with the appropriate network information. And be sure the ONBOOT= line is

ONBOOT=yes. The ifcfg-eth1 file for this example would be

DEVICE=eth1

BOOTPROTO=static

BROADCAST=10.255.255.255

IPADDR=10.2.0.4

NETMASK=255.0.0.0

NETWORK=10.0.0.0

ONBOOT=yes

In this case, the lines you add to /etc/rc.d/rc.local would be:

insmod vmxnet_console devName=vmnic1,vmnet_0

ifup eth1

ifup eth2

Sharing the Console Operating System’s Network Adapter

with Virtual Machines

Caution: If you intend to share the adapter that is eth0 on the console operating

system, be careful as you implement the following steps. In order to configure ESX

Server initially, you need to have a network connection. Once the initial configuration

is set, you make several changes. At one point in the process, there is no network

connection to the console operating system, and you must work directly at the server.

When you first install and configure ESX Server, the VMkernel is not loaded, so the

console operating system needs to control the network adapter that is eth0. When

you configure ESX Server, assign the adapter that is eth0 to the console operating

system.

Once you have completely configured ESX Server properly and rebooted the

machine, the VMkernel is loaded. At that point, you need to take the following steps:

1. Edit /etc/modules.conf and comment out the line that refers to alias

eth0.
