RHEL 7 new install will not connect to network or internet

Latest response

We have RHEL 7 installed within a virtual environment (HP c7000 blade).

The network connection will not get an IP via DHCP, and will not connect to the internet/LAN with a valid IP. I've found a few articles where people experienced similar issues. In one case the ifcfg-(connection) file had an incorrect MAC address. I checked and confirmed that the file had the correct MAC address.

"systemctl stop network" works, "systemctl start network" fails. I've attached a screenshot of the errors.

I have checked everything that I can think of and cannot determine the source of the issue.
