TIPS Incredible PBX 2020 no ethernet detected

[joker49]

Ok this may be me being a noob, but I have done this plenty of times before. So I can't get Incredible 2020 to detect the network on a ESXi 6.5 environment. Am i missing a step?

I can't get it to install directly from the ESXi client, so i put it in Workstation 15, import it and then downgrade it to a 6.5 machine.

It fires up but during the initial setup says no network device detected.

As far as I know the Ethernet is setup during VM Centos 7 install in which the Ethernet interface is set to Off by default. No idea why they decided to do that. Centos 6 I believe it was On by default.

What does ifconfig in the VM say for interfaces? Since you moved from one subsystem to another, it's quite possible ESXi randomized the MAC address again, and CentOS 7, by default, ties the MAC to the interface, you'll have to remove the MAC from one of the persistent rules if that is the case.

How do you enable it?
