Installing Matlab with Campus License on a virtual Linux OpenVZ container

Matlab handles campus licenses using the MAC address of the /dev/eth0 device.
An OpenVZ container, however, does not have a /dev/eth0 device
One can add a virtual eth0 interface by:

1. shutting down the container machine
2. Issuing the

   vzctl set VMID# --netif_add eth0 --save

   command replacing the “VMID# with container’s numerical ID number

3. Restarting the container
