We have our z box on public addresses hence VM and all virtual Linux servers are also. We have finally stared a push to move them onto 10 addresses. We have a layer 3 vswitch defined. The network group has given me test ip addresses, subnet mask, and gateway addreses. My problem is I can make the change to a given machine with ifconfig and
then view it through VM and see it has changed. But when I try to change the routing info(using route add/del) I get "network unreachable". we can ping the 10 gateway from VM and from the linux machine(before the change). When I make the ip change it takes a few minutes and then on VM it is reported that the machine is there. Is it possible that changing this info on virtualized and this (ifconfig/route) would only work on grey boxes with individual real nic cards? Or what have I missed?? thanks Mace
