Cannot connect to VM Linux after cloning

Hi. I need to clone a Linux Centos VM without losing the original VM. So, instead of generalizing and deallocating it (which would make it useless), I just created a snapshot and then a disk form it.

Then I created a new VM attaching the cloned disk. VM boots normally, but I can't access it through ssh.

Accessing the VM using Serial Console and running a “ifconfig”, I can see the IP address is 127.0.0.1. So, off course VM is not allowing SSH connections.

What can I do to make the VM get an IP from DHCP VNET?
Thanks

@JuanFalguera-5130 Thank you for your patience over the matter!!!

I do suspect that VM is not having an Associate Public ip address. If it is normal deployment, a Public/Private ip should be created while the VM is created, but if only 127.0.0.1 appears, it is suspected that the ip is not normally assigned. Have you tried allocating a public IP by referring to the document here.

If not can you please check it and let me know if it works for you or not.

Thanks

Having similar issue
After creating an image of a RH linux VM can not logging to the new VM, the original VM uses username / password not ssh, the image is not generalized as it it has the configurations that we want to keep. Both VM's have private IP's and using Bastion to connect and can connect to the original VM
