Hi, I’m testing Openneubula under VMware (ESXi). Iv’e manged to initiate successfully a VM. but couldn’t get the network to work and access the internet. these are the hypervisor coniguration: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br1 DEVICE=br1 TYPE=Bridge ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=none NM\_CONTROLLED=no DELAY=0 DEVICE=ens192 TYPE=Ethernet BOOTPROTO=none ONBOOT=yes NM\_CONTROLLED=no BRIDGE=br1 So basically, ens192 is bridged to br1. I have created a virtual network in Opennebula (192.168.1.0/24) without a vlan id since it’s under vmware with briged configured as br1. when I’m launching a vm (with cirros for example), it does not discover the IP while the dhcp service is starting. and I have no networking to that VM. In the “Lease” tab it does assign IP to that VM. What am I configured wrong? Thanks in advance, Tom ---

well, dhcp is not in used in opennebula, using contextualization… solved with this doc [http://docs.opennebula.org/5.4/operation/vm\_setup/kvm.html#kvm-contextualization](http://docs.opennebula.org/5.4/operation/vm_setup/kvm.html#kvm-contextualization)
