I have a Red Hat (Oracle) 6.8 VM in Parallels 12 which is configured with a bridged connection over wifi (eth0). Working fine. I cloned it (no changes), and the new VM cannot connect to the Internet; ifconfig doesn't show the eth0 interface, but instead shows eth1, and the eth1 interface doesn't show an IP address. I'm not really a linux sysadmin, and certainly not strong in networking... What can I look at to get this going?
Hi DallasL1, Confirm us if you have used the clone option in Parallels Desktop to clone the VM or just copied and pasted the PVM file in different location.
Hi, it is a peculiarity of some Linuxes. When network adapter changes its MAC-address (occurs while cloning), Linux considers the adapter as a new and assigns to it eth1 interface name and doesn't provide a configuration for this interface. It is needed to manually configure this new network interface.
