Unable to ping the IP address of the VA from the machine vRanger is on, but I can ping the Host that the VA resides on without any issue.
The broadcast IP is incorrect for the VA. In this case the last octet in the broadcast IP was 254. Once we changed this to 255 all worked successful.
Log on to the VA as root
Type vi /etc/sysconfig/network-devices/ifconfig.eth0/ipv4
Verify that the broadcast IP is the highest IP in the VAs subnet. Config layout below:
ONBOOT=yes
SERVICE=ipv4-static
IP=<static IP of VA>
GATEWAY=<IP of gateway>
PREFIX=<this is the subnet mask - your values may differ>
BROADCAST=<your broadcast IP- the highest IP in the VA’s subnet.>
