Updating
See VMWare documentation on network types ("Understanding Common Networking Configurations").
To update:
- Start the Virtual Network Editor, find or create a new network adapter that is NAT.
- Change the VM's network settings to use this adapter (under Custom)
- Start/restart the VM
- Under System, Administration, Network, "Edit" the "Wired connection 1", set to DHCP instead of static address
- Set the DNS servers: 10.4.14.10, 10.6.14.10 (as of 2016-03)
- Apply
- Under System, Administration, Server Settings, Services, go to Network and restart
- Test internet connect with Firefox (Applications => Internet)
- To Add or Remove, go to Applications, Add/Remove Software
- To update Centos:
- su
- yum clean all
- yum update, then reboot
- Alternatively, go to Applications, System Tools, Software Updater (but this does not update the version, say 6.6 to 6.7)
- Change back to static IP (System, Administration, Network, "Edit" the Wired connection 1 device)
- Change the VM settings back to the Host-Only virtiaul network adapter, restart
Note: you can do a version check withÂ
cat /etc/redhat-release
