This article is step-by-step tutorial how to fix a problem which occured after I restored my virtual machines from backup to my ESXI server.
ifconfig
ifconfig when eth0 is not available
when I used lspci, result was
lspci
lspci result
So network adapter is correctly available in my virtual machine. As next step I need to found out which alias is used for this adapter. I didn’t find any easily way than try et0,eth1,….
ifconfig eth0 eth0: error fetching interface information: Device not found ifconfig eth1 eth1: error fetching interface information: Device not found ifconfig eth2 eth2: Link encap: Ethernet HWaddr.....
So, I found my network adapter. Now as last step it’s necessary to update network interfaces to this adapter
sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces #and change all eth0 to eth1 values
/etc/network/interfaces
As last step restart your machine and everything should work correctly.
