import of Ubuntu

[bdacasc]

@Danp I have done the following:
sudo apt remove open-vm-tools

sudo rm -r /etc/vmware-tools
sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/open-vm-tools.service
sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/vmtoolsd.service
sudo rm -r /etc/systemd/system/open-vm-tools.service.requires
sudo rm -r /etc/vmware-tools

sudo apt autoremove

And still no IP

@gskger said in import of Ubuntu:

I think @Danp meant it is not recommended to not install the XCP guest tools.

Correct

@bdacasc So, you've removed the vmware tools and installed the xcp tools? Have you rebooted the VM after uninstalling the vmware version?

[gskger]

@bdacasc Are the IPs set static at OS level of the VMs or granted via DHCP?

[bdacasc]

@gskger Fixed IP via netplan

@bdacasc
You have to change the interface name from ens160 to eth0 after migrating a Ubuntu VM from ESXi to XCP-NG.

The file yopu need to edit is /etc/netplan/00-installer-config.yaml

After that type:

sudo netplan apply

With that the network should work again

[gskger]

@bdacasc You need to update the interface name to eth0 as shown by ip a.

@bdacasc

Glad to see everything is working now.

Just as a little background:
This problem is caused by the different way ESXi and XCP-NG handled devices. For Ubuntu this causes a difference in the network interface name, for other Linux variants this causes the disk device name to change from something like /dev/sda to /dev/xvda .
