IDH on clustered Hyper-V VM, second NIC shows "disconnected"

[kingtriumph]

Hello,

I am attempting to set up the Security Onion IDH on a Hyper-V cluster. The SO version is 2.3.182. The VM itself has two NICs, one set untagged and another with a VLAN tag.

During the SO install process, the second NIC (tagged) was not seen by the installer at all. After the installation completed, I can see the second NIC listed as "hardware" in the VM, but it shows as disconnected. Toggling the NIC on and off on the VM itself changes it to "unavailable" in SO when off and then back to "disconnected" when on. The ifcfg-eth1 config file shows the interface is currently set to DHCP, but clearly it can't get an address if it doesn't see a connection.

I have verified that the tagged VLAN on this NIC is present on the switchports for all the hosts in the Hyper-V cluster. The tagged VLAN in question works fine for any other VM on the cluster that utilizes it.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Ok, well I figured this out the NIC issue. I had to change the ONBOOT variable in ifcfg-eth1 to "yes".
