In the clone wizard enter a VM name for the ‘passive node’.Right-click the vCenter Server VM in the virtual machine inventory and clone the VM... Clone > Clone to Virtual Machine.Option 2 – Open a web browser and access the Management Web UI of the vCenter Server appliance ( in the upper right-hand corner of the wizard and pause here. Click the Edit button in the upper right-hand corner, expand the nic1 option and then select Use the following IPv4 settings and enter the static IPv4 address information. Under networking you should see two NICs (nic0 and nic1). Click the Manage tab and under Common select Networking. Option 1 – Through the vSphere Web Client navigate to Administration > System Configuration > Nodes and in the list of nodes select the FQDN of your vCenter Server appliance. Applying the static IP settings can be accomplished in one of two ways. By default the adapter will appear as DOWN.

Once the adapter has been added to the configuration you must then configure a static IP address on the adapter. Simply add the new network adapter and connect it to the vCenter-HA-Network (vDS port group) as you can see below. From vSphere Web Client I am going to edit the virtual hardware of the vCenter Server appliance. This network must have less than 10ms of latency.įirst line of business for the Advanced Workflow is we have to manually add a second NIC to the vCenter Server appliance and connect it to the vCenter HA network. Completely separate from my primary vSphere Management network. My vCenter HA Network segment is going to be on the 192.168.83.0 /24 network segment.
