Second NIC to VCOPs VMs

Hi,

i want to Test a new collector for our Storage Array.

Therefore I have to connect to a complete seperated network with a second nic.

I couldn´t find anything how to configure or if it is supported.

Also i don´t know if the adapter needs the connectivity on both UI and Analytics VM or only on Analytics.

Can you give me a hint how to handle this?

Kind regards

Johannes

I can answer only part of your questions:

Adapters run inside the Analytics VM, so you don't need to modify the UI VM at all. For the rest I hope someone else can chime in.

Thanks,

I want to report my success to anyone - and i think it´s not only me - .

Ich just configured a second nic in vSphere to the Analytics VM, moved over to the Console, logged in as root and configured the second Adapter via yast.

Simple solution and everything is working fine.

Does anybody know if adding a second NIC to a remote collector node is possible/supported ?

Thank you
