Thank you
Disabled SELINUX
# vim /etc/sysconfig/selinux
Change enforcing to disabled :
# This file controls the state of SELinux on the system. # SELINUX= can take one of these three values: # enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced. # permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing. # disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded. SELINUX=disabled # SELINUXTYPE= can take one of these two values: # targeted - Targeted processes are protected, # minimum - Modification of targeted policy. Only selected processes are protected. # mls - Multi Level Security protection. SELINUXTYPE=targeted
Stop any MTA services installed in the server
# systemctl stop postfix # systemctl disable postfix # systemctl stop sendmail # systemctl disable sendmail
Update the OS
# yum update -y
Install the required packages and libraries by issuing the following command :
#yum install perl perl-core ntpl nmap sudo libidn gmp libaio libstdc++ unzip sysstat sqlite -y
Extract the downloaded tar file :
Using the following command you can extract the tar file, We downloaded in previous step
wget https://files.zimbra.com/downloads/8.6.0_GA/zcs-8.6.0_GA_1153.RHEL7_64.20141215151110.tgz tar xzf zcs-8.6.0_GA_1153.RHEL7_64.20141215151110.tgz
Go to extracted ZCS Open Source Edition :
cd zcs-8.6.0_GA_1153.RHEL7_64.20141215151110
Instal Zimbra.

Question: I want to assign a static MAC address to a virtual machine (VM) on VMware ESXi. However, when I attempt to start a VM with a static MAC address, the VM fails to start and throws an error “The MAC Address entered is not in the valid range. Valid values are between “xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx” and “xx:xx:xx:xx:xx”.
When you create a VM on VMware ESXi, each network interface of the VM is assigned a dynamically generated MAC address. If you want to change this default behavior and assign a static MAC address to your VM, here is how to do it.
As you can see above, VMware’s vSphere GUI client already has a menu for setting a static MAC address for a VM. However, this GUI-based method only allows you to choose a static MAC address from 00:50:56:xx:xx:xx, which is VMware-reserved MAC address range. If you attempt to set any arbitrary MAC address outside this MAC range, you will fail to launch the VM, and get the following error.
Fortunately, there is a workaround to this limitation. The solution is, instead of using vSphere GUI client, editing .vmx file of your VM directly, after logging in to the ESXi host.
First, turn off the VM to which you want to assign a static MAC address.
Enable SSH access to your ESXi host if you haven’t done it already. Then log in to the ESXi host via SSH.
Move to the directory where your VM’s .vmx file is located:
# cd vmfs/volumes/datastore1/[name-of-vm]
Open .vmx file with a text editor, and add the following fields. Replace the MAC address field with your own.
#ethernet0.addressType = "static" #ethernet0.checkMACAddress = "false" #ethernet0.address = "00:0c:29:1f:4b:ac"
Now you should be able to launch a VM with the static MAC address you defined in .vmx file.
