APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • '/etc/resolv.conf' is not being a symlink on ubuntu deployments.

While importing the ubuntu OVA file, if the user configures the
network settings on VMware dialog, the /etc/resolv.conf appears
as a file and not a symlink as expected.

Because of this when the user runs the below command to refresh
the network, it fails with an error:

Warning: /etc/resolv.conf is not a symbolic link to
/run/resolvconf/resolv.conf

Local fix

  • Create a symbolic link of /etc/resolv.conf to
/run/resolvconf/resolv.conf

Restart the network with command below

ifdown eth0 && ifup eth0

Problem summary

  • The /etc/resolv.conf file should be a symlink on Ubuntu linux,
but is a file.

Problem conclusion

  • Fix targeted for release in v5083

Temporary fix
