Changing IP Address of 5 ESXi Servers

We are about to undertake an IP address change on our network. Our 5 ESXi (5.1) servers will all need to be changed to the new IP structure.

Can anyone offer any advice regarding a procedure for this or point me in the right direction re. documentation.

Thanks in advance.

Just, turn off your HA and change your management IP addresses one by one and change DNS records.

If you added your ESXi servers by DNS name to vCenter, you don't need to remove and re-add the servers to vCenter.

It's easy, just check your all related services.
