vSphere Nic Settings from terminal

Hi I just installing esxi4, have some experience in linux.


How to settings the NIC IP address ,etc from the terminal.

I can only access the machine from terminal not GUI

I set a static IP address during install , but have to change my NIC after install.

with "ifconfig" the old NIC still there with a static IP, my new NIC was also there but no ip address.

How do i set it in the esx ?

Have a look at section 10 of this doc:

http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r41/vsp4_41_vcli_inst_script.pdf

It should cover all your requirements.

good luck

One day I will virtualise myself . . .
