Issue: CentOS Virtual Machine eth0 interface not starting at boot time and you need to manually login from VMware console start it every time.
Solving: make sure you have:
ONBOOT=yes
in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file.
If you don’t have ifcfg-eth0 file you need to create in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
ifcfg-eth0 contents should be similar to:
DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=static ONBOOT=yes IPADDR=10.10.10.50 NETMASK=255.255.0.0 GATEWAY=10.10.0.1 DNS1=8.8.8.8
