ESXi Deployment Guide 33

Configuring, Restarting, Testing, or Disabling the Management Network

Services

The ESXi 4 kernel supports IPv4, IPv6, and IEEE 802.1Q (VLAN tagging) for

all management network connections; configuration of these parameters

including IP address, gateway, subnet mask, host name, and DNS systems

occurs through the DCUI. All VM network configuration is performed from

the VMware management software. VM networks configurations from the

DCUI is not supported.

Press <F2> in the main ESXi Server host screen that is displayed after

your system boots.

The main DCUI configuration screen is displayed.

Select

Configure Management Network

in the main DCUI customization

screen, and press

Enter

The

Management network configuration

screen is displayed.

NOTE: For the PowerEdge M-series modular systems enabled with FlexAddress,

ensure that the variable Net.FollowHardwareMac is set to 1. Use the vSphere Client

to connect to the ESXi host. Navigate to Configuration Software Advanced

Settings

 Net. Set Net.FollowHardwareMac to 1 and reboot the ESXi host.

Additional Setup Steps

Deploying vCenter Server

Beyond the basic configuration of management connectivity, ESXi requires a

second Windows management station for configuration and day-to-day

management. You can manage ESXi by directly connecting the system through

vSphere Client or by adding the system to vCenter Server. vCenter Server

provides many-to-many management of more than one copy of ESXi software.
