SC IP changed, but console is showing old IP

[rhummels]

Hi!

I've changed the IP of my ESX host using the esxcfg-vswif command. The change was sucessfully, but after a reboot, the old IP is showing on the "Welcome-screen"... Where does ESX get this IP from? I've checked both esxcfg-vswif -l & ifcfg-vswif0, both reporting the new IP...

Regards,

Rune

See if /etc/hosts has the old IP address and if so update it and reboot.

and what the ifconfig command says ?

Hi,

You probably have to check following files

#/etc/hosts

#/etc/esx.conf

For more info refer to following link

and a look to the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-vswif0 file too no ?

Updating the hostfile resolved my problem :smileygrin: Thx
