I checked the code in
./patches/systemvm/debian/config/etc/init.d/cloud-early-config
# a hacking way to activate vSwitch under VMware
ping -n -c 3 $GW &
sleep 3
pkill ping
if [ -n "$MGMTNET" -a -n "$LOCAL_GW" ]
then
ping -n -c 3 $LOCAL_GW &
sleep 3
pkill ping
fi
It pings both local and public gateway,
Could you check the file in your setup to see if the fix is in?
Below is the procedure to fix the issue in your setup,
1.Check in the fix
2. get the latest build
3. upgrade your current setup
4. stop/start all system VM (SSVM , CPVM, router VM)
