HI ,
I have replaced the network card and i am not able to connect or access ESX4.0.
How to add physical nic to vswitch or v network card
rag
have a look at this.
esxcfg-nics -l to display network card name, vmnic1=pnic etc.
esxcfg-vswitch --link=pnic vSwitchx x=whichever vswitch your service console port group is on
esxcfg-vswif use this if you need to re IP
you can ping the ESX Hosts gateway for the service console?
what is the output of
esxcfg-vswif -l
I able to ping default gateway and when I run esxcfg-vswif -l
displays Ipaddress and brocast network
what message are you getting when trying to get to the homepage of your ESX host with your browser, and what error when trying to access it directly using the vSphere4 Client?
You can ping the host from whever you are launching the browser and client?
I abale to ping but i could not access home page of esx or vmware clinet
please supply the error message you are getting.
vSphere could not connect with vcenter server ipaddress
detail connection failer occured
vSphere could not connect with vcenter server ipaddress
from this error it appears you are tying to connect to your vCenter Server, not the ESX Host. Are you sure you have the correct IP for your vCenter host?
Check this KB as well
that typo, it is vCenter host
this all started after we replacing network card
