Products

• VMware Live Recovery

Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:

1. You have deployed a new vSphere Replication Appliance
2. You have deployed a new Site Recovery Manager Appliance 

 

Environment

VMware vSphere Replication 8.x
VMware Site Recovery Manager 8.x

Resolution

Run the following commands from a web console :

1. Run the following command to list the number of ethernet interfaces.

root@VRMSPR [ ~ ]# /opt/vmware/share/vami/vami_interfaces

eth0
eth1
eth2

By default eth0 is the management interface but you could have more out there depending on your requirements.

1. Set the IP address manually by running the command

/opt/vmware/share/vami/vami_set_network <interface name> STATICV4 <IP Address> <NETMASK> <GATEWAY>

Example:

/opt/vmware/share/vami/vami_set_network eth0 STATICV4 192.168.10.11 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1

1. You can also set DNS manually by running the command

/opt/vmware/share/vami/vami_set_dns -d <domain suffix> <DNS IP1> <DNS IP2>

You should be able to access the IP address now; a reboot will only be needed if its still not working. 

For SRM and vSphere Replication 8.5 & above, please use this KB - Photon Network Manager Commands to update Hostname/IP Address/DNS in SRM & vSphere replication (92586)
