I made a list of everything i need to check prior to clustering some of my servers, this is to standardise my network configuration on all my hosts, hope this helps somebody
Ensure network configuration is correct in the following config files
1. Putty into ESX host
2. Logon as Root
The following you can copy and past as is
3. vi /etc/sysconfig/network
4. vi /etc/hosts
5. vi /etc/resolv.conf
6. service network restart
7. In the VI client go to configuration, Software - Routing.. Ensure that configuration matches what you changed above.
PS it would seem that case does matter.
8. Migrate all guests off the host.
9. Restart esx server
Any suggestions of comments will be welcome
