I had to restore the vCenter Appliance 6.5 in my environment but after it restored successfully and booted up just fine I had no networking so I couldn't ping the IP/hostname or browse to the web client.
When I tried to make hardware changes to the VM I get this error:
I'm using distributed switches for everything and have no standard switches.
After plenty of Googling a few web sites said I should change the MAC address in:
/etc/udev/rules.d/ 70-persistent-net.rules
The problem is I don't have this file to edit as it isn't present in this directory.
How can I get the networking working again in the vCenter Appliance? I've tried restoring a couple of times, even to a different host but it hasn't helped.
