Im probably new to vmware so please bear with me .
Im trying to create a new virtual appliance on a windows 2003 server . I copied the .vmdk and .vmx files from an existing virtual appliance from its datastore. Then I used Converter standalone Client to create an .ovf file from the .vmdk . After the .ovf is successfully created I deployed it in vsphere client using the "Deploy ovf " option. The virtual appliance is successfully created but the problem is Im not able to configure the network settings
-> Im unable to access the eth0 file.
-> Im not able to set the Ip address
-> " ifconfig " returns an error
-> Subnet mask and inet address are not set
Could someone give me the reasion for this error and possible solution. How do I overcome this problem . How can I assign the ip address to a virtual appliance . Im using a RHEL based server .
Are there alternate ways I can edit the network config.
I have attached the screen shot of the console .
--Thanks in advance.
