Changed my subnet for ESX farm.  I also changed the esx servers 'anaconda' cfg file accordingly... keeps still old IP to the reboot?

Hello world

I changed my subnet and everythign works fine in my esx vcserver settings until I reboot... The ESX Server restores the OLD IP address.  I run ifconfig and it changes again, but why he returns to the reboots?  I have no idea what the anaconda file does but it seems to be some startup parameters, so I thought that I took care of the question... other ideas?  Thanks again for your help!

The ifconfig command will not change permanently to the IP address associated with an interface.

To do the following in the console

Edit/etc/syscongfig/network (if necessary change Gateway value)

Edit/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-vswif0 (change IP, network and the mask)

Check/etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf (for all changes to the network settings that may be necessary)

Type "service network restart" (without the quotes)

The system maintained the new IP address? If so, reboot and ensure that it retains the new IP address.

You will need to reconnect the VC system.

Anaconda is used by the process of kickstart RHEL (used for the initial version of ESX host) I know you can monkey with the configs but I tend to do things the old-fashioned way.
