== Can't Connect VM's NIC == | |||
When powering up a VM its network card becomes disconnected. If you tick the ''Connected'' checkbox, the task completes without error, but the checkbox is unchecked again. | |||
This can happen when exporting a VM from Lab Manager, or can be caused by config errors with vShield Zones (and there are probably triggers as well). You may notice either of the following in the VM's <code>vmware.log</code> file | |||
* <code>vcpu-0| [msg.ethernet.e1000.openFailed] Failed to connect ethernet0.</code> | |||
* <code>vcpu-0| [msg.ethernet.openFailed] Failed to initialize ethernet0.</code> | |||
Filter config has been left on the VM's NIC, which is causing problems when trying to connect the vNIC to its portgroup. | |||
In order to resolve either... | |||
* Replace the virtual NIC in the VM's config (remove the NIC, then readd it) | |||
* Manually remove the offending config lines from the VMX file | |||
*# Power off the VM, and identify where its VMX config file is, and what ESX its on | |||
*# Remove the VM from the vCenter inventory | |||
*# SSH to the ESX, and edit the VM's VMX config file | |||
*# Remove any lines that reference a filter on the affected NIC, for example... | |||
*#* <code>ethernet0.filter1.param0 = "0x2000029" </code> | |||
*#* <code>ethernet0.filter1.param1 = "3" </code> | |||
*#* <code>ethernet0.filter1.name = "vsla-fence" </code> | |||
*# Register the VM | |||
*# Verify the NIC's connected network, and reconnected the NIC | |||
*# Power the VM back up | |||
