If the original line is

alias eth0 e100

edit it to be

# alias eth0 e100

This disables eth0 on the console operating system when it boots.

2. Use the VMware Management Interface to reconfigure the server. Log in as root

and go to http://<hostname>/pcidivy, then click the Edit link for the

configuration you want to change. Find the table row that lists the Ethernet

controller assigned to the console and click the radio button in the Virtual

Machine column to reassign it.

Click Save Configuration, then reboot the machine when prompted.

3. When the machine reboots, no network adapter is assigned to the console

operating system, so you must do this step at the server.

Add the appropriate lines to /etc/rc.d/rc.local. For example, if eth0 is

the only network adapter that you intend to share between the VMkernel and

the console operating system, and if it is named vmnic0 in the VMkernel, you

add the lines

insmod vmxnet_console devName=vmnic_0

ifup eth0

If you are unsure what name the VMkernel has assigned to the network adapter

that formerly was eth0 in the console operating system, you can determine its

name using the findnic program (see The VMkernel Network Card Locator on

page 220).

4. The next time you reboot the system, the network adapter is shared by the

console operating system and the virtual machines.

To begin sharing the network adapter without rebooting the system, you can

manually issue the same commands you added to /etc/rc.d/rc.local.

insmod vmxnet_console devName=vmnic_0

ifup eth0
