Hate to necro a thread but this was the only thing that came up on Google while I was figuring this one out for myself.

Turns out, if you disable network manager the OS has no idea what to do with your gateway information – and this is essential for failover IPs to work on OVH without a vRack.

To fix it simply – open /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-

eth0

(replacing

eth0

with your network device).

In that file, put (replacing

x.x.x.x

with your gateway IP and

eth0

with your network device):

I’m not even going to apologize for necroing this thread because I’ve been googling my butt off for 4 days & this is the ONLY solution out of about 50 supposed working solutions that works with CentOS7. I had to create the route-eth0 file manually, added the lines as indicated, configured the ifcfg-eth0 according to OVH’s Wiki and voila, it works! Thank you SO much. I have literally been at this for 4 days, 12 hours a day & there is NOTHING but this thread out there on how to get cPanel to work with OVH Failover IPs that actually works but this.

In our case we’re running a SoYouStart Dedicated Server with Windows 2016 Datacenter as the host & CentOS7 w/ cPanel in VirutalBox. Make sure you also set the VM to use the Virtual MAC you have to manually generate through the OVH / SYS control panel.

Never been so happy to have someone necro a thread but I really can’t thank you enough. We’re up & running with 24 hours to spare before I lose this contract. You just saved my job.
