Environment

Novell Filr 1.0

Situation

  • Deleted eth0 from Network devices.
  • Hot swapped good NIC in for bad NIC.
  • Swapping NICs makes new NIC eth1 instead of eth0.
  • After NIC changes, eth0 is gone, can no longer access admin interface on port 9443.
  • Jetty log shows error: ERROR com.novell.admin.common.server.datamodel.services.impl.ApplianceServiceImpl -
    Unable to determine IP address for network interface eth0

Resolution

Workaround:
Edit Network Devices, Network settings, and change the NIC from eth1 to eth0

Cause

The 9443 currently only listens on eth0.  Removing eth0, prevents access to 9443.
