I have two esx boxes 3.5 under a cluster and both esx are up and running fine with hosting few Vms each..and am able to power on all Vms and run them.
one ESX is fine and have no probs with it.
recently there was some issue with one the esx with its Ip settings...i was provided static Ip to the ESX and then i lost the connectivity with that esx ..so i connected to tht ESX with ILo and del vswif0 and all vswitches and created the new one and assign the service console port group DHCP ip address.
i followed these steps to d that:
xcfg-vswitch -a <vswitch name>
esxcfg-vswitch -L <uplink NIC name> <vswitch name
esxcfg-vswitch -A <portgroup name> vSwitch
esxcfg-vswif -a vswif0 -p <portgroup name > -i DHCP
And now am able to connect the ESX to Vi client...but when am going to configuration tab and then to networking..properties and edit for service console...am able to see only two options uder general tab..its Network label and Vlan ID...there should be option for Ip settings thats sttic and dynamic..optain ip automaticallya nd provide static ip..am able to see all this in my first ESX box..but not in this second one.
