OK, I've been more off than on - finally back.
I must have botched something up - hopefully I can fix this without
taking a Unix course (the knowledge from which would be more than desirable
)
First, please comment whether ESXI and OmniOS should have static
ip addresses (I had them static but then opted for setting the MAC/IP/host names in the router
and setting both ESXI and OmniOS as DHCP.
What do you mean by "former BE" ? (todate, I've just fiddled around
not making any backups or anything yet)
-If I do a reboot of Omnios, there are two options:
-default
-backup_151014_Sep_2015
Can't remember back to install, I guess the backup came automatically
with the install. I use the "default" boot option for OmniOS.
For some reason I understand the physical/virtual components,
but still (specially after beinng on/off this) have some problem
understanding the vm network and management network
and assignment of the vnics - if you don't mind a few details
about where you added the e1000 for management and the vmxnet3s for ESXi/data ?
For the physical nics, at the moment I've got just
vmnic0 (inbuilt nic) connected and have
the ibm quad nic for future needs - so both the communication
to ESXI ip via vsphere client as well as ping to OmniOS
are going via that one nic.
After fiddling around with the "delete addr" command and going through the steps
for creating a new DHCP address on e1000g0,
-"ifconfig" gives the correct ip address (and netmask - "/24" i.e. "ffffff00") for OmniOS
as set in the router MAC/IP list but 127.0.0.1 netmask is "ff000000" (mistake from before).
-I can ping the new OmniOS ip address from the pc which is running the vSphere client
- can't reach napp_it via OmniOS_ip:81
How can I check if napp_it is still installed ?
