Configuring network access

In this setting page, users can configure host-name, domain name, DNS, and IP settings for Eth0 and Eth1 interfaces.

Before you begin

When a Lenovo XClarity Integrator is initially deployed, the Eth0 interface is enabled for connecting both the VMWare vCenter and baseboard management controller (BMC) network. Users can optionally enable the Eth1 interface for the BMC network connection. After the Eth1 interface is enabled, Eth0 interface is no longer available for BMC connections.

It is not recommended to change network settings set in the wizard. If the network settings should be changed, perform the following steps to reconfigure the virtual appliance.

Attention
The incorrect changes on the settings might cause disconnection to the virtual appliance.

  1. Regenerate the server certificate (see Working with security certificates).

  2. Unregister vCenter and re-register again (see Configuring vCenter connections.

  3. Clean up Lenovo XClarity Integrator on the vCenter server (see Uninstalling Lenovo XClarity Integrator for VMware vCenter).

  4. In the following cases, disable management over all hosts that are managed by Lenovo XClarity Integrator, and then manage the hosts again.

    • Eth0 is changed and Eth1 is disabled.

    • Eth1 is changed.
