Issue/Introduction

This article provides information on using the configure-network command-line utility in the Skyline Collector virtual appliance.

Resolution

The configure-network utility is used for performing various network configurations on the Skyline Collector virtual appliance. It provides guided options to configure:

Use this command to configure the network:
/opt/vmware/share/vami/vami_config_net


 
  • IP Address:
    This can be either static (specifying the IP address and Subnet Mask) or dynamic (via DHCP).
  • DNS:
    Two DNS servers can be configured as needed.
  • Default Gateway:
    Allows configuration of the default gateway for the network.
  • Hostname:
The hostname of the vSphere Support Assistant virtual appliance.
By default, the hostname is set to photon-machine.
Run "/opt/vmware/share/vami/vami_ovf_process -r eth0" after the network configuration to preserve the changes on reboot.
