Server Move - VM Question

[Pilly170]

Hi,

I have moved nagios VM from a hyper-V to Xenserver.

All looks ok, It boots, I can login. but the network doesnt seem to be working.

I was using this:
http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Tu ... on/details

I got to ifdown eth0
Says "Device Eth0 has mac address xxxxxxx, instead of configured address xxxxxx . ignoring

Any ideas how to overcome?

You may need to alter the network settings in centos. What are the contents of the ifcfg network config files?

Code: Select all

cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth*

You may need to remove the mac address from the files. If this server has more than one nic, it may be assigning the nics in a different order under xen than it did under hyper-v.

So I assume I have to remove the hardware entry... any ideas?

I edited the file. rebooted and it seems to work.

Try removing/commenting out the HWADDR line by adding a '#' to the front of the line. Afterwards, reboot the server or restart networking.
