Hi,
I am using vco workflows to clone a vm from vcenter. The vm is running centos 6.0 . When the cloning is complete. I see the network interfaces eth0 and eth1 set correctly with the static ip address and gateway information i provided. I deleted the 70-persistent-net.rules on the base vm form which i clone . So i get the correct interface names. But when the vm powers on and i run the ifconfig eth0 i dont see the IP address for that interface it has all the other details. same for the other interface also.
But if i do a system network restart without modifying any of the networking and then do a ifconfig i see the ip address along with the previous information. I am not sure why the network service restart is required for it to recognize the ip address.
Any ideas what i might be doing wrong. or to prevent that manual step of running the network service restart command on vm creation.
Thanks,
Kiran
