I’ve had my demo setup working for a few months. I’m a few days away from demoing it to the company, and the PC that my FPBX install was set up on dies. I think it’s a motherboard failure.
Anyway, I put the hard drives into a new box and manage to boot it up though the network won’t initialize. I can still get to the files though.
My question is, can I either
a) Get the network working, if so, how?
or
b) copy relevant files from the old set of disks to a new install?
or even
c) run a command line backup to create a latest backup that I can migrate (please don’t ask me about restoring a backup, I don’t have any… cue flaming…)
Post the contents of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
The new mother board might need different network drivers or the MAC address in the ifcfg-eth0 from the old motherboard does not match the new MAC on the new motherboard.
I’m having a problem getting the files off the machine due to the disks being in part of an LVM volume. And I’m not sure how to mount a USB drive to copy them off!
On another not, when I booted up the machine and logged in, and error message came up saying
“exception while fetching interface information for eth1: [Ernno 99]cannot assign requested address”
I looked for a ifcfg-eth1 file but it didn’t exist so I create one from the ifcfg-eth0 file. Still no joy…
