ESX3 – Lost service console connectivity
For a lot of reasons you could lose the connection to your ESX host. Now it cannot be configurated with the use of virtual center until this has been recreated.
esxcfg-nics -l
Gives an list of your physical nics
esxcfg-vswitch -l
esxcfg-vswitch -l > textfile.txt
Gives an list of your virtual switch configuration. If you “pipe” it to a textfile it can be easily readed.
esxcfg-vswitch -L vmnic6 vSwitch0
In this example a physical nic is added to a vSwitch.
The connection has now been recreated
