Dear community,

 

I've got a openSUSE VMDK file that need to ran off of a virtualBox or VMware software, but I thought I will try to run it off of my unraid server. I have manually added the disk to start it up, everything looks fine as far as the VM goes, except I cannot get any internet on it. Do you guys know, if I have to do any sort of extra configuration in order to make sure to have a virtual network for the VM?

 

Please let me know if you got any tips.

Do an ifconfig from within the OpenSUSE VM to see the networks presented.  All Linux-based guest VMs should support the VirtIO network drivers that we use for VMs with Unraid.

@jonp This is all I can see. (version 13.2)

Even though I have a br0 network configured, I can't seem to have access to the network card.

Do you know if you have the virtio network drives installed in the VM?   I thought most recent Linux distributions included them as standard but maybe not in this case?

 

Alternatively do you know what type of network card was defined under VirtualBox?   It is possible you could change the VM definition under Unraid to specify the same one.

Do you know how could I install such drivers without being able to download it ? 

Flash drive?

You shouldn't need to "install" any virtio drivers for opensuse if it's just a standard Linux based distro. Can you try typing lspci for me and report the feedback? And lspci with the -k option so I can see the driver bindings?

I haven't find any great fast way to paste the result here other than a screenshot. But here is that:

 

Ok the second screenshot at the bottom shows the Ethernet controller but it's cut off before I can see the driver part.

My bad. Here you go

 

Try this though. Edit your VM and toggle xml edit mode. Search for network. Find the model=virtio part and change that to model=e1000 and if that doesn't work, try rtl8139

do you mean 

<interface type='bridge'>
      <mac address='52:54:00:ec:58:ee'/>
      <source bridge='br0'/>
      <model type='virtio'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x04' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/>
    </interface>

this part should be

<interface type='bridge'>
      <mac address='52:54:00:ec:58:ee'/>
      <source bridge='br0'/>
      <model type='e1000'/> (or later rtl8139)
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x04' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/>
    </interface>

?

?

Yup!

Both of them have exactly the same result after running `ifconfig` in the terminal. Only getting loopback network. 

Any chance you can link me to where I can download this vmdk to experiment myself?

Awesome. I'll start the download in a few. Probably won't have any feedback till later tonight at the earliest.

Thank you very much. Don't worry I'm not in an extreme hurry. Please let me know if you have any news for me. 

I'm also having this issue. Was there ever a fix to this?

Can someone please help. I'm getting an IP but can't talk to my router or ping internet.

 

Server has internet, and is working great. I've tried reinstalling the VM about 10 times, each one following the SpaceinvaderOne MacOS installation guide. 

 

Any help would be great.

Did you manage to get this resolved at all @busa1?

@xxbigfootxx Unfortunately not. I haven't had too much luck with CentOS 7 either using Unraid. I would recommend going on a different path for virtualising (such an ESXi or proxmox setup)
