RHEV3 : evaluator guide Lab2 (cloned redhat VM)

Hi,

During my evaluation, as part of Lab2, I mainly focused on cloning and templating Windows machines. All goes well for me.

I'm now trying to clone (and power on!) a base redhat virtual machine.

All goes well except that the cloned VM has not network confirgured...except the clone own settings: eth name, MAC...

Search a lot, I managed getting a working clone by editing ifcfg-eth0 and 70-persistent-net.rules (*)

My question: why this is not automatically done as part of the cloning?

Regards

(*)

vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

vi /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
