Second Sevice Console in ESXi

We are currently upgrading out servers from ESX4.0 to ESXi 4.1 and have found that we cannot add the second service console for HA redundancy. Is this something that was phased out of ESXi or is there something Im missing in adding the redundancy?

I have been trying to find information on why this is, but nothing seems to come up. (Even a best practice would be nice) :smileyconfused:

Thanks for any advice offered.

There is no service console  in ESXi, you have to choose management network instead. You can give second management network's isolation address

With Great Regards,
