In order to run CORTX, it must be able to acquire IP addresses. To test whether it has, run ip a l and you should hopefully see something like the following:
If you do not see IP addresses and you are running in a virtual machine hypervisor such as VMWare Workstation, you probably have misconfigured virtual networks. The following instructions have been known to fix the problem in VMWare Workstation.
Edit your virtual machine settings and set every network adapter to use a Bridged connection and to 'Replicate physical network connection state':
Then select the 'Edit->Virtual Network Editor' menu item:
In the Virtual Network Editor, make sure you select the right NIC to bridge:
Reboot your VM and recheck ip a l. Hopefully you now have IP addresses showing and your CORTX system will run correctly! If you still do not see IP addresses, the following commands may be useful:
ifdown <interface> # e.g. ifdown ens192
ifup <interface> # e.g. ifup ens192
If not, please contact the community and we'll figure it out together.
