Change IP address in vCenter Environment

In many recent projects, the company needs to change the IP addresses of related management machines in the vCenter environment. In most of our project environments, the vCenter database and vCenter are deployed independently, therefore, after the network environment is changed and re-configured, The vCenter may become unavailable. Follow these steps to change the vCenter IP address when the network environment changes: 1. Modify the IP address of the VC_DB (vCenter database) server:

Modify the IP address of the vCenter machine 3. reconfigure ODBC because the application of vCenter depends on the ODBC of the operating system to connect to the database, and ODBC configures information related to the connected database, therefore, after the network environment changes, you must reconfigure ODBC to enable the vCenter service smoothly. Find the ODBC configuration program from the management tool and configure the data source linked to the database in the system DSN.

Change the server to the IP address of the VCDB machine you just modified.
