We have a running Hyper-V Mailgateway Installation (v7.0.1)
Now we need to migrate this VM to ESXi.
I used SolarWinds V2V Converter for doing that Job. It worked so far. No errors at all.

When I start the VM in ESXi i can login with my root credentials.
But eth0 is not connected. ESXI shows network adapter as "connected".

How can I reconfigure the network layer ?

Any hints a are highly appreciated.

Cheers

The name of the NIC probably changed inside the VM.

You can check the available NICs by running ip a. Check that against the contents of /etc/network/interfaces. Most likely, you will have to adapt the name of the NIC.
 
Do you have an eth1 in your interfaces file? If not, try to change all occurrences of eth0 with ens32 and reboot the VM.
 
Good to hear :)

I went ahead and marked the thread as solved.


With the migration, the underlying virtual hardware has changed, and therefore also under which name the NIC is recognized.
