I usually change host name and IP address by following my earlier blog. What happened this time was not sure but I lost "ifcfg-vswif0" file and host were out of network. I still can see ""Service Console " and vSwitch0 had all the port group. Now this is very confusing situation , if I create new service console ,will I lost all the portgroup . The answer is NO. So I went ahead and created new Service Console port using following command
[root@server root]# esxcfg-vswif –a vswif0 –i 192.168.1.10 –n 255.255.255.0 –p "Service Console"
['Vnic' warning] Generated New Mac address, 00:50:xx:xx:xx:xx for vswif0
To my surprise I found that all the port group were intact and I got back my "ifcfg-vswif0" file with new MAC address.
