In Connections, you can have a lot of individual jvm’s running on a node. To have these all start automatically when the system starts, you have basically 2 options:
- create services for the nodeagent, and every individual server you want to start.
- create a service for the nodeagent, and have the nodeagent start these for you (AUTOSTART).

Setup dnsmasq for proof of concept / development / test environments

In the end, I deleted the virtual machine with CentOS7, and created a new one. This time, I did see the network card and I could do the netinstall.
