Procedure to change IP address of OnCommand Core and Host Server

LAZARAGOZANA — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:48:14 GMT

I'd simply like to change the IP address of my OnCommand Core and Host Server.

It's a vmWare virtualized Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise.

If I change the IP, everything seems to work properly except the vCenter Plug In that is not able to connect to the new IP address.

Thank you very much in advance. Regards

This command is not recognized as a valid command.

I have tried the same but with "configure-hostservice" and it shows command executed succesfully, but vCenter still is not able to connect to the Plug-in.

Finally I've reinstalled the OnCommand Server.

Thank you very much.

the OnCommand Plug-in for VMware gets registered when you install the host package which is mapped with the IP address, if you change the IP addresss the OnCommand Plug-in for VMware wont be able to connect, you should configure with the changed IP address.

use the following link in the host package installed machine,

https://localhost:8143/Register.html

this will let you to configure.
