VM not obtaing DHCP address when migrating to another host.

[Sean Truman <st...@gmail.com>]

All,

When I use the migrate to another host option for a running VM (Basic
networking), the VM refuses to get a DHCP address?  Is this a known issue?
or is something wrong with my hosts? is there something I can check? When I
migrate it back to the original host it obtains an IP address.

I believe that Sean solved this (based on IRC conversation)...
something to do with a network cable being unplugged. ;-P

Which hypervisor? DHCP is only triggered at VM boot time, so I don't see
what it has to do with migration (which can happen well after boot time).
Are you migrating during boot?
