eth0 not present in OpenFiler on Hyper-V

kernel_kate

I have installed OpenFiler storage sollution (based on rPath Linux) on Hyper-V VM and after booting into it message displays: You do not appear to have networking. Please login to start networking. ifconfig displays no eth interfaces. service network restart command gives error: Bringing up interface eth0: Device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization. I tried echo > /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and then reboot...

Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:

Sundeep Seetloo Hello there ! If you deploy openfiler on Hyper-v , the network card will not work and display this error message : "You do not appear to have networking. Please login to start networking." You must add a legacy network card, it will solve/fix the issue.
