i have a bunch of multi-homed virtual machines with the latest vmware tools installed & running. The "summary" tab says that vmware tools are "ok" but in the "ip address" area it displays the ip address of the 2nd nic (backup LAN) instead of the primary NIC (management LAN).
the question I have is: how do I configure the vmware tools to only work on, query, use the 1st NIC in the machine and display that IP.
I'm sure burued deep down in the vmware tools config lies the answer -- i just don't know where. we have both linux and windows-based VM's so I'd need the location for both OS'es.
2nd question. if this primary NIC is down, is there an option for vmware tools to use this 2nd NIC to report back to Virtual Infrastructure?
much thanks...
