Deploying VMs from a Centos 6.4 Template

There are 2 problems when trying to create a CentOS VM template intended as a source for deploying VMs en masse:


1. VMWare does not support customization specifications CentOS VMs.

2. The network adapters get screwed up in the deployed VM.


Solution:

Before converting your base VM build into a template, do these 2 things:


1. Change the VM to a RedHat 6 VM. Yeah, just go to Guest settings and change the OS type in there.


2. Delete 2 files:

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

b. /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0


Here’s a post I found this in:
