New Installation - No IP address

[redp-mc]

Earlier today I downloaded the NagiosXI virtual appliance from here: http://library.nagios.com/library/produ ... loads/main (2011R1.3
May 25, 2011)
I converted the appliance using vmware's converter. (I am running ESXi 4.1)
After I powered on the machine, I did not get an IP address.
I started looking around for help, and found this tutorial: http://library.nagios.com/library/produ ... vmware-esx

I am doing everything as that video shows, but when I power on the machine I do not get an IP address to use the web console.
I do have an active DHCP server that will give IP addresses, and there are over 20 available addresses.

What else can I check? Thank you.

Also see http://support.nagios.com/forum/viewtop ... b91#p10855 for the IP fix and the HTTPD fix (copy of that fix included below).

Code: Select all

sed -i '/.*MACADDR.*/d' /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
mkdir /var/log/httpd
chown apache.apache /var/log/httpd

I have completed those steps, I am still not getting an IP address.

We had a couple of issues with the latest build of the 1.3VM, we should hopefully have the 1.4VM out in the next day or so.

I have the same issue with VMWare player. There is no IP address assigned, and no eth0 when I do an ifconfig.

I am attempting to evaluate Nagios XI and this doesn't bode well. Any idea when a working VMware build will be available?

One note - I removed the entry "HWADDR=00.xxxxxxx" entry from the ifcfg-eth0 config file and did an "ifup eth0" and was able to get an IP. After rebooting everything seems OK so far.

I think I'm having the same problem as redp-mc. I downloaded the latest 2011R1.7 August 31, 2011 version yesterday and followed that same exact tutorial to convert it, but am not getting an IP or DNS name in the Summary tab when I power on the vm in vSphere client. Any idea what could be causing this particular issue?

thanks!
