== Change Service Console IP Information == | |||
Logged in as root use the esxcfg-vswif command <code>esxcfg-vswif <options> [vswif] </code> | |||
Description: Creates and updates service console network settings. This command is used if you cannot manage the ESX Server host through the VI Client because of network configuration issues. | |||
Note that the -l command will display the names(s) of the virtual switches which must be specified on the other commands so the trailing [vswif] is not optional on most commands. | |||
Options: | |||
-a Add vswif, requires IP parameters. Automatically enables interface. | |||
-d Delete vswif. | |||
-l List configured vswifs. | |||
-e Enable this vswif interface. | |||
-s Disable this vswif interface. | |||
-p Set the portgroup name of the vswif. | |||
-i <x.x.x.x> or DHCP The IP address for this vswif or specify DHCP to use DHCP for this address. | |||
-n <x.x.x.x> The IP netmask for this vswif. | |||
-b <x.x.x.x> The IP broadcast address for this vswif. (not required if netmask and ip are set) | |||
-c Check to see if a virtual NIC exists. Program outputs a 1 if the given vswif exists, 0 otherwise. | |||
-D Disable all vswif interfaces. (WARNING: This may result in a loss of network connectivity to the Service Console) | |||
-E Enable all vswif interfaces and bring them up. | |||
-r Restore all vswifs from the configuration file. (Internal use only) | |||
-h Displays command help. | |||
Note: You set the Service Console default gateway by editing the /etc/sysconfig/network file or through the VI Client under Configuration, DNS & Routing. | |||
Note: You set the Service Console VLAN (to 1234) using a similar command to: <code>esxcfg-vswitch -v1234 -p"Service Console" vSwitch0></code> | |||
== Change Timezone == | |||
# Log into the ESX Server service console as root. | |||
# Find the desired time zone under the directory /usr/share/zoneinfo | |||
# Edit <code> /etc/sysconfig/clock </code> Edit this file to show the relative path to the file representing the new time zone, and ensure that UTC and ARC are set as shown: | |||
#* <code> ZONE="Etc/GMT" </code> | |||
#* <code> UTC=true </code> | |||
#* <code> ARC=false </code> | |||
# Copy the desired time zone file to /etc/localtime | |||
#* <code> cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/GMT /etc/localtime </code> | |||
# Confirm that /etc/localtime has been updated with the correct zoneinfo data using the following steps: | |||
# Reference the zoneinfo file used in step 2 and compare it to /etc/localtime, if the files are identical, your prompt will return without any output. | |||
#* <code> diff /etc/localtime /usr/share/zoneinfo/GMT </code> | |||
# Confirm the system and hardware clocks are correct. Use the Linux date command to check and set the correct time if necessary. | |||
#* Set the hardware clock to match the correct system time. | |||
#* Set the system clock to the local date and time: \\\\ date MMDDhhmmYYYY | |||
# Update the hardware clock with current time of the system clock; | |||
#* <code> /sbin/hwclock --systohc </code> | |||
