hello friends
I 've lost conecitivity to my esx (3.5) service console and my esx server become unmanageble from Vcenter(2.5)
there are total four uplink on Esx server, 2 uplinks are assigned to vSwitch0 (standard switch) and rest of 2 uplink are assigned to vSwitch1
vSwitch1 having all vm traffic wheras vSwitch0 having default portgrop configured i.e service console,vmnetwork and VMKernel portgroup.
vSwitch0 was also working fine but when i change load balancing option beacon probing to link status it went in non responding state
to further troubleshoot this i checked through ILO and login through root and unlinked the vmnic0 and vminic1 which were assigned to vSwitch0.
when i unlink the both vmnic i got message-- removed from configuration file only.
then i tried to delete portgroup but unable to delete VMKernel port group. i also tried to delete vSwitch0 but unable to delete. i got message something like that 1 port active unable to delete. to recreate service console on seprate switch i create switch2 and try to create service console on it with following command.
esxcfg-vswitch -a vSwitch0
# esxcfg-vswitch -A "VM Network" vSwitch0
# esxcfg-vswitch -A "Service Console" vSwitch0
esxcfg-vswif --add --portgroup "Service Console" --ip=nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn --netmask=255.255.255.0 vswif0
but after add portgrup command i got error.
please help me to reesatiblish service console conecitity.
Regards
