ESX host showing IP Address not FQDN

[jaydee01]

Hi All

I just installed 2 x VSphere ESX hosts. When I logon to each of the hosts I see the IP address in the Inventory view and not the Hostname.

On the right hand sise (over the tabs) I see the FQDN.

Am I missing something?

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Hi,

Not sure if there is a way to update this via the settings, but the way that I have done this in the past is:

Check that the host is in DNS correctly. Then just disconnect and remove the Host from VC. Finally re-add it using the FQDN instead of the IP Address.

Should work fine as long as DNS is set up correctly.

Thanks Steve

Having double checked DNS there were some differences

All is working now

Many Thanks
