Need to change the nic assigned to a virtual switch using the CLI

[grahambird80]

Hello,

I have stupidly assigned the two NIC's on our ESX server to a new Virtual Machine network with out assigining a Service Console to it and I have lost the ability to connect to the server and change it back.

Can some one please help me with the command I will need to assign one of the Service Consoles to the new Virtual Machine Network that I have created?

Many thanks in advance for you assistance.

Sorry should also have asked how to change the NIC assignment via the CLI also (as per the subject!)

hi

show me output for this command:

esxcfg-vswif -l

esxcfg-vswitch -l - using command esxcfg-vswitch with parameters you can assign vNIC to vSwitch

Hello,

Thanks for you reply but I managed to sort our the issue by looking at the following blog;

I ran the command to assign the nics to Vswitch0 and I then had access again.

esxcfg-vswitch -L vmnic0 vSwitch0

Cheers,
