Stupid Newbie Question: Provider Offers KVM with SolusVM Cannot Get 2nd Network Adapter

alh

I have been talking to my VPS provider, but I have never had this issue and wanted to know if I am missing something obvious before I embarass myself.

I asked the VPS provider to upload Fedora 24 Server ISO and I installed it. It is running fine, but after this OS reinstall I cannot find the 2nd network adapter with the second IP address I requested custom.

$] sudo ip addr show

So not matter what I try, I do not see the second adapter. Per the helpdesk, I ran Reconfigure Network from the SolusVM web interface. I check the log after it shuts down and does its magic, but no joy.

Now, stupid question, do I need to change the password to the one they think it is in for the SolusVM panel even if it is clearly running offline ops on the VM? I am sorry for so much dumb, but I have never asked for a second adapter with a KVM VM on Solus.

I did see it when I first installed their template/ISO of Debian. Perhaps there is something implementation specific to their ISOs I missed? I doubt I had the same root password they provided at first either.

you need to setup network interface for your 2nd IP in /etc/network/interfaces (Debian) and restart network or reboot
for the rest I have no idea wot you're going on about

You just need to alias the ip to the eth0 adapter. so to do this in Fedora

 cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

find

GATEWAY=

then add the alias

nano -w /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:0

enter

DEVICE=eth0:0
BOOTPROTO=static
ONBOOT=yes
IPADDR= [enteryour second ip address]
GATEWAY=[enter gateway ip from above]

restart network

network restart

Aha, I came across this similar issue just recently.

Basically recent versions of Fedora use ensX instead of the usual ethX. Check your dmesg to be sure.

I guess Solus 'auto-configuration' network script assume eth0 as default interface, so it won't do shit with latest Fedora.

You'll have to configure network interface yourself. SolusVM won't configure it if you didn't use a readymade template & did installation from an ISO.
