Issue
After a successful installation/configuration of the RSA Governance & Lifecycle Virtual Application (OVA), the DNS setting configured during the initial installation is removed if the Virtual Application VM is rebooted.

The symptoms of the issue include the inability to resolve any external hostnames, including the hostname of the Oracle database used by the RSA Governance & Lifecycle application.  For example, if the Oracle database hostname was provided during the initial configuration, the following error shows up during RSA Governance & Lifecycle application startup and the database hostname cannot be resolved on the Virtual Application:
