hi folks,
just ran clean install of esx3.0.2 to one of our ibm blades and all seemed to be fine until i looked at the routing and dns settings under configuration->software. all entrys are blank except for the default gateway - service console addy. so i think ok something went crazy during the install as i did give this info to the installer. so i click the properties button to edit these setting and get a VIClient unhandled exception stating "object reference not set to an instance of an object" the error contains the output at end of post. i also get a similar error when creating the VMKernel port that states i have no default gateway and asks if i would like to configure it now, i click yes and it throws the same unhandled exception at me. all the other hosts in the HA cluster behave normally, and as far as i can tell the host in question is functioning ok, the only difference i can see is the fact that all other hosts were upgrades from 3.0 to 3.0.2 where this is a fresh/clean install, host hardware is all identical.
anyone seen this before?
is easy enough to just reinstall, but if there is a known solution i prefer to just fix it. i looked through the known issues and searched the boards with no result.
any thoughts, appreciated
Thanks,
Randy
