I had a machine built with 2 NIC’s. Then I removed both of them and add one new one. vCenter shows correctly 1 nic added, but /tmp/context.sh doesn’t have the nic info.

When I try to run updateconf on the vm and add NIC info there, even though the files is saved, every time I reopen it the NIC info is removed. What am I missing here ?

The template in Sunston contains NIC information, but it doesn’t propagate to the actual machine.

Thanks

It’s old bug and not resolved.

Hi nicpon!  
as Anton says there’s an [open ticket for that issue](https://dev.opennebula.org/issues/4915), and there was a similar discussion[here](https://forum.opennebula.io/t/add-second-nics-to-vm/3515/5) for other readers reading this post. Hopefully it will be solved for next release.

Cheers!

Thanks guys. I have a workaround just taking content from template through sunstone and running onevm updateconf on the machine.
