Changing the IP Address in the Aria Suite Lifecycle Manager 8.x appliance

Products

• VCF Operations/Automation (formerly VMware Aria Suite)

Issue/Introduction

This article provides steps to change the network configuration for Aria Suite Lifecycle Manager 8.x.

Introduction:

• Time estimate: 30 minutes
• Take a snapshot of vRLCM (no memory and no quiescing).
• Modify existing DNS records to accommodate the new IP address.
• Re-IP address using the built-in script.

Note: Your session will be disconnected as soon as it says "Reconfiguring eth0", which is expected as the IP address changed.

• Open a new SSH session and execute the same command to display the new network configuration.
• Additional validation is to check by rebooting the vRLCM VA and reviewing its state.
• You can also access the system settings and check the new configuration.
