Configure Network Management Grey Out

[hpham2]

Hello All,

After I reset ESXi pw and it reset the server IP to 0.0.0.0 and when I login the Hypervisor or GUI, I noticed that the following item greyed out:

Configure Management Network

Restart Management Network

Test Management Network

Restart Standard Switch

And when I try to enable Management Network. I get this message "Enable Management Network error Management Network Interface cannot be found"

I checked the NIC on server has link/activity lights. And the logs show that NIC is up 1000Mbps. I looked in the BIOS and it show detect NIC card as well.

I search online and can't anything that can help me fix this.

Any helps would be appreciate!

Thanks,

I just had the same issue.

Just do Reset Networking, then add NICs and Restart the Management Agents. Make sure the cable is attached to the NIC/NICs.

disconnect/remove  from VC and re-connect with it

My host was newly deployed/standalone i.e. managed by VC.

What version of ESXi is this?

If this is ESXi 5.x, reboot once and check if the settings come back. If not, you might have to do a reset of ESXi to defaults and reconfigure "Reset System Configuration"
