I am currently running 2 ESX 3 hosts and VC2 via IP addresses. I have built my skeleton structure and now would like to chnage the VC server which is in a workgroup and my 2 ESX 3 hosts which are accessible via IP to resolve by DNS. 2 questions, The VC 2 server is in a workgroup so is it correct to say all I need to do is add it to the new domain and supply the new IP address and re-register the VMs? Before I do that, I need to have the 2 ESX 3 host resolveable via DNS. The following is a post I found while searching for what files to edit on the ESX hosts, Is this correct?
/etc/hosts
/etc/sysconfig/network
/usr/lib/vmware-mui/apache/conf/httpd.conf
When editing the hosts file, include the fully qualified domain name (FQDN). For example:
ip.address.of.server host.domain.com host
Note the order of the terms in the example above. If the FQDN and the alias are reversed, the remote console parameters use the alias only.
In the httpd.conf file, change the ServerName configuration setting to reflect the new FQDN. For example:
ServerName host.domain.com
After editing the files listed above, run the hostname command with the new FQDN to have the name change take effect without a reboot. For example:
hostname host.domain.com
