Snapshot is a copy of files and directories of the file system at a specific point in time. File systems at this point can later be mounted read-only.
So, after the snapshot recovery period has passed on the new VPS, problems may arise caused by changing the MAC address of the network adapter. Typically, when you change a network adapter, the operating system creates a new network adapter for it. Typically you will see the network adapter on “eth1” (or eth2 if you have a private network enabled).
CentOS
This operating system describes the following steps to correct network configuration after snapshot recovery:
- First you need to log into your server, this can be done as a consequence of this;
- Delete the contents of /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
- Open /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and change the content to the following:
DEVICE=eth0
TYPE=Ethernet
ONBOOT=yes
NM_CONTROLLED=yes
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
DNS1=8.8.8.8
NAME="System eth0"
After this three steps, you need to restart VPS
