Hi!

I have a problem. If i add 10+ interfaces to my VM then my VM starting mostly fail with "got timeout". If i remove some interfaces (to below 10) the VM starting without problem.

I think the VM creation time increasing while increasing the number of interfaces. i don't found the solution to increase timeout the starting process.

i tryed to delay bootup and delay other vm's boot process.

Have an idea anybody?

Thanks

So maybe you should move vlans inside VM instead of setting one interface for each.
 
Ok this is a possible solution, but, now i modelling a special server with lot of network interfaces. (32) maybe the test result differ than 16 vlan or 16 cards. The primary question is why not starting the vm, and where the timeout setting?
