vCenter Server Appliance - network settings

[Reinos]

Hi,

i have a vCenter Server Appliance 5.1.0.5300 Build 947940.

After upgrading vom 5.0.x i have the following problem:

Networking - Address: My appliance has got a hostname, IPv4 default gateway, two preferred DNS servers, static IPv4-address and netmask (IPv6 address type auto). When i reboot the appliance something happens: After the reboot i see the subnet mask (255.255.255.0) in the field preferred DNS server and the alternate dns server field is empty. This results in errors because there is no more name resolution

Anyone else having this problem?

Best regards

Reiner

Yes! Have you found an answer or given up on this experiment? Ive found that even though I edit the /etc/resolv.conf (because the UI won't do it either), the DNS settings disappear on reboot. In our case the primary DNS server is replaced by the FQDN of our AD domain and the secondary is blank.

Basic stuff like this (and the laundry list of bugs in the latest release notes) is making me think this appliance is not ready for prime time.. and I so wanted it to be.
