Any Impact on Changing vCenter IP.

VRO123 — Fri, 22 Sep 2023 03:59:30 GMT

Hello Guys,

Will there be any impact on Changing the Vcenter MGMT IP?

we are using SSL custom-signed certificates, do I need to re-apply for the certificate again?

will the ESXI host communicate, after changing the VC IP?

Thank you!

It's straight forward to change the IP and as long as you haven't added the IP as a SAN to you custom SSL you should eb OK, but after such a change I would always be tempted to redo the custom SSL.
