Hello all,
I have two esxi 5.1 hosts, I've just installed and configured vCenter on a virtual machine on one of the hosts.
vCenter server has 2 interfaces: nicA (public), nicB (private).
esxi hosts have four interfaces: nicC-nicD (management vmkernel), nicE-nicF (public network)
I've configured the vCenter on the public network (nicE-nicF)and all is running fine with remote desktop etc; I've created a vm network on the same vswitch of the esxi management vmkernel and connected the private nic of the vCenter to this. Both vm network and esxi management have the *** same vlan id ***.
There's no way to contact hosts from inside the vCenter at this point using this interface, cannot add hosts or open vsphere client for management.
Is there a way to configure a vm network with the same vlan id of the esxi management on the same esxi hosts? (I've also tried on 2 different vswitches with no success...)
regards
U
