Hi All
We need to replace faulty NICs (same Type into same Slot) on our ESX Servers. I've done this on one machine and after starting up one VM everythings seems to work fine. However I noticed that the MAC adresses in esx.conf did not change and still show the values of the replaced (old) NIC:
net/pnic/child0002/duplex = "auto"
/net/pnic/child0002/mac = "00:18:fe:2e:51:1d"
/net/pnic/child0002/name = "vmnic2"
/net/pnic/child0002/speed = "auto"
/net/pnic/child0002/virtualMac = "00:50:56:5e:51:1d"
ifconfig shows the MAC adress as: vmnic2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1F:29:0D:AC:71 which is correct for the new NIC
I ran the following commands
and rebooted the server, however esx.conf still shows the old values. Anyone have an idea?
