      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have a server 2003 with exchange 2007 running as a stand alone with Static IP.  &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;On my new server I installed vmware esxi and converted the server 2003 with exchange to run inside esxi.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; My question is setting the IPs, host names.  Do I set the esxi server to the static address previously running to the standalone.  If so what do i set the converted server IP's as?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;The IP address used for management of your ESXi host is not at all tied to the IPs for your VM.   If you're on a single subnet,  you'll need a unique IP for ESXi to manage it and then unique IPs for each of your VMs.   The vSwitch that ESXi creates is simple a basic switch and there are no IP services associated with it (i.e. DHCP,  NAT, etc).   The  good thing about this is that you can put a NIC from ESXi into your DMZ,  but ESXi itself will not require an IP address in the DMZ subnet.  Only your VMs will have an IP in the DMZ subnet.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;OK, I think I need to explain better.  I had a physical server that had its own Static IP.  When I converted to a VM, the NIC still shows as Static but it can"t connect with this IP as it comes directly from the cable modem.  If I install an second NIC, how do I get the VM to use the 2nd NIC with the static IP that it was using on the previous physical machine&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;You guys are great, thatnk you for your help&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
