Change FQDN for VCSA / NSX Manager and ESXi - Pt 2


From  https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1010821

To rename a VMware ESXi host using the HTML client:

  1. If the ESXi host is part of a cluster, first enter the Maintenance mode to remove it from the cluster.
  2. If the ESXi host is managed by VirtualCenter/vCenter Server, disconnect and remove the ESXi host from the vCenter Server.
  3. Connect to the host directly with a vSphere Client and select the ESXi host
  4. Select Configure - TCP/IP configuration
  5. Select the Default TCP/IP Stack, and then click the Edit button
  6. Set hostname and Domain Click OK.
  7. Join the ESX host to VirtualCenter/vCenter Server and clusters

 

This is from the new Host client after 7.0u3

go to network -> Default TCP/IP Stack



Edit and change the Host name / Domain name  etc.

Reconnect the host
