Problem description
DRaaS does not retain network file for RHEL when failover instance is brought online.
Cause
DRaaS v1.0 leverages AWS VM Import/Export services to perform the AMI conversion. Due to a VM Import/Export service limitation, all static IP addresses assigned to the source VM are removed during the import. When an imported instance is launched in an Amazon VPC, it receives a primary private IP address from the IPv4 address range of the subnet. Hence, the network file gets replaced with vmimport.network.
Resolution
Create the network file over the RHEL Server manually.
