Post #1
After installing razdc and rebooting, the network card is disabled (set to unmanaged). The network card can not be reactivated again (linked config)

I running an install in ESX to see if I can duplicate this. This might have to do with selecting CentOS7, but I will know soon.

I have closed the other ticket. Using "Redhat Enterprise Linux 8" for OS type and BIOS instead of EFI worked for install. For the Network I am using VMXNET3 and upon reboot the network came up without issues. I was able to configure a static IP and reboot. The network came up once again with this configuration:

vSphere Client version 7.0.0.10400
