What Can I Do If the Server IP Address Cannot Be Displayed During Installation
Symptom
During installation, the available IP address is not displayed in the drop-down list box in the window for selecting an IP address.
Possible Causes
The network cables are disconnected.
The driver of the network adapter where the IP address is located has not been correctly installed.
The operating system IP address is not configured.
Procedure
- In the Linux operating system, run the ifconfig -a command and check whether RUNNING is contained in the command output. If not, connect network cables.
eSightServer:~ # ifconfig -a
