If you are like me and you tried to perform an upgrade of vIDM 3.3.x to 3.3.4 you were most likely greeted by no network connectivity after upgrade with the following screen:

No network detected. Run command to configure network.

If you made a backup of the network configuration this is where we would restore it.

If not we can perform it manually by running

/opt/vmware/share/vami/vami_config_net

Press 6 and go through the screens to configure the ip

Configuring IP settings for eth0 via menu-driven wizard.

Press 2 for default gateway

Setting default gateway for eth0 in vIDM upgrade.

Press 4 for the DNS

Setting DNS in vIDM 3.3.4 upgrade wizard.

Press 0 to show the current configuration

The image shows the current network configuration for eth0 and global settings, with no detected networking issues.

If you notice in my configuration the dns server didnt take. In order to fix it i recreated the /etc/resolv.conf.

Remove the resolv.conf running

rm -f /etc/resolv.conf

Create a symlink for resolv.conf

ln -s /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf

The image shows terminal commands for updating DNS configuration on a Linux system.

In my case vIDM was still not responding so i had to reboot the server. After the reboot everything started working properly
