2 Configure dual-NIC in OMIVV
This section describes how to configure dual-NIC in OMIVV, along with the steps for configuring DNS
forwarding as needed.
Ensure that the OMIVV appliance is imported, deployed, and not powered on for new installation.
Note: Any network configuration is done to the OMIVV appliance when the appliance is up and running will not
be reflected in the application until the VM is rebooted.
1. Edit the VM settings using the vSphere Client (HTML-5) and add the additional NIC. To edit the VM
settings, right-click VM, and then click Edit Settings.
2. Click ADD NEW DEVICE and select Network Adapter.
