adapter missing in exported vm?

Friday, June 11th, 2010

I’m adding this to my checklist when exporting a virtual machine via virtualbox.

on the guest image,

  1. become superuser
  2. echo “” > /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
  3. shutdown -r now
  4. open up the 70 persistent net rules again. change eth1 to eth0
  5. shutdown -h now
  6. go ahead and export (VBoxManage export $image_name -o $image_name.ovf)

For me, this saved a lot of asprin when importing VM on a new machine. This permits udev to assign the first available eth adpater to your machines virtual mac address.

this was the BEST guide i’ve found EVER for setting up nginx with FCGI, postfix, wordpress, rewrites, and securing your installation…. it was also based on an install for a linode slice… ( i also use linode )

thanks a lot to guvnr he really put a lot of work into this…
