Solved: Re: How to change IP of Vcloud Director management...

auberjean · ‎01-31-2017

Moved a test environment to a different location and i need to change the IP addresses.

I remember during the setup of VCD, i had to assign 2 IP addresses,

How to change them and get VCD running in the new network?

I checked https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=10286...

1/"

Execute these SQL statements:

select name from cells;"

Ran ths as query and there was no objects cells.

2/ "From within the Red Hat system which is hosting the vCloud Director software, navigate into the $VCLOUD_HOME/etc directory using the cd command and change these values in the global.properties file: "

What's the $VCLOUD_HOME? i browsed from root into etc but couldn't find global.properties file.

Any insights greatly welcome, im totally lost.

many thanks

KB what you mentioned is perfect for changing ip . Regarding your query on $VCLOUD_HOME/etc ..that path is nothing but

/opt/vmware/vcloud-director/etc .. In that directory you will see global.properties file . Just create a copy before making any changes and rest assured simply follow the kb.

Ohhhhh..... i see. Works now, 😃

edited global properties file and also changed the cell IP in MSSQL.y

Many thanks.

Now i have a non-vmware issue. =/

Now i have a different issue, since the VM was moved to a different host, eth0 etc became ens33 and ens34,

I checked in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts but there was no ifcfg-ens33 nor ifcft-ens34 config files.... so created them and added the interface and ip.

But it seems my centsOS ip won't change.

auberjean · ‎02-02-2017

Fixed my interface issues on centOS, I tried to start my Vcloud director , starting watchdog and cell goes grees, i get an OK. But the web interface is not coming up, here is my cell.log & my vcloud director debug log. I can't figure out what's wrong. =/

Since you have changed the centos IP, just curious to know did you update DNS(DNS entry to the /etc/hosts ) ? Was there any certificate change ?

There was no certificate change.

I believe in one of the ifconfig i added the line hostname = 192.168.120.71 (which is my dns server)

also i just checked /etc/resolv.conf and it had the correct DNS server.
