Log Insight 4.8 Change IP Address

Log Insight

Setup
VMware-vRealize-Log-Insight-4.8.0-13036238_OVF10.ova
VCSA 6.7 Build 14368073

It took 5 hours to deploy the OVA (remote site) and you fat fingered any of the network card settings. You don’t want to spend another 5 hours.

You shut down the VM. Config / Settings / vApp Options and set the vami.ip0.VMware_vCenter_Log_Insight Network 1 IP Address from 192.168.0.243 to 192.168.0.249

  • Issue – The OS does not pick up the new IP address upon boot.

 

  1. Login to the VM console as root since root login via SSH is blocked by default.
    Run
    /opt/vmware/share/vami/vami_config_net 
  2. Hit 6 to change the IP address (or any other config you may have fat fingered)
  3. Hit 0 to validate or 1 to exit.
  4. The web client shows the new IP pulling from VM tools. Validate via the https url.
  5. I rebooted for grins and the new IP stuck.
