VMware vCenter Server

Issue/Introduction

  • "IPXE Boot URL" shows the eth1 IP and not the management IP of the vCenter Server.
  • Fails to download the TFTP zip file as the url redirects to eth1 IP.

Environment

VMware vCenter Server 7.0
VMware vCenter Server 8.0

Resolution

We need to update the Management IP on the autodeploy-setup.xml. 

  • SSH to the vCenter Server and login as root. Type shell to enter BASH shell.
  • Take a backup of the autodeploy-setup.xml to the /var/core/ location:

    cp /etc/vmware-rbd/autodeploy-setup.xml /var/core/autodeploy-setup.xml

  • Edit this file using vi editor:

    vi /etc/vmware-rbd/autodeploy-setup.xml

  • Update the <serviceAddress> tag with the management IP of the vCenter Server.

    <serviceAddress>vCenter_Server_Management_IP</serviceAddress>

  • Save this file after editing. 
  • Restart the rbd service:

    service-control --restart rbd
