Change FQDN for VCSA / NSX Manager and ESXi - Pt 1

I wanted to change my Environment to reflect my blog

Easy way to create DNS with the power CLI

Add-DnsServerResourceRecordA -Name vcsa01 -IPv4Address 192.168.1.10 -ZoneName virtsysadmin.lab

Refer following for more commands

Changing FQDN for VCSA was easy, As long as DNS is created it's straight forward.

Login to the VAMI using port 5480, 

-> Networking -> Network settings -> Edit -> Select Network Adapter -> Edit settings -> 

change the host name



or the IP 

 

Need to acknowledge the following after providing the SSO credentials. 

 After some time you will prompt to login to the VAMI using new URL.  

 

Login to the vCenter using new URL and change any previous reference. 

 

 In a production Environment

  • Take a snapshot of the VCSA (offline snapshots in a ELM setup - https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/85662) 
  • Get the change Approve
  • Inform stake holders
  • Specially update the Monitoring Team / Tool to reflect the change.
