Quickstart vm IP address keep changing

[#1]

Hi All,

I've downloaded QuickStart VM with CDH 5.10 on VirtualBox, everything went smoth but I've noticed that everyime I shutdown the machine and turn it back on later the IP Address for the host is keep chaning between 127.0.0.1 and the actual VM IP address 10.0.2.15, the VM has a static ip address, in my case it's 10.0.2.15

As a result I've to restart cloudera manager services and stale service as well and deploy client configuration again via cloudera manager.

Is there's a way to keep the host IP address always pointing to 10.0.2.15 and not doing this flip.

Thanks,

Osama

Hi Osama,

Please check out this thread which should help you to solve the issue:

If your IP doesn't change you can just edit /etc/hosts and comment out the network relevant parts in /etc/init.d/cloudera-quickstart-init

Cheers,
