Changing VLAN on the OVC

[Jeff850]

I need to change the VLAN on my OVC to a new one.   What is the command syntax in the CLI to change the VLAN on the OVC?  Guessing I need to stop SVTFS, run the command and restart SVTFS.  Would this involve the use of the dsv-address-change command?

Thank you,

To change the VLAN on your OVC, you can use the following command syntax in the CLI:

1. Enter the VLAN ID: (host) [mynode] (config) #vlan <id>
2. Specify the interface: (host) [mynode] (config) #interface gigabitethernet <slot>/<module>/<port>
3. Assign the VLAN to the interface: (host) [mynode] (config-if) #switchport access vlan <vlan>

Replace <id>, <slot>/<module>/<port>, and <vlan> with your specific values.

What file do I edit to enter this information?  It does not coincide with any commands form the CLI.

Thanks.

Hello @Jeff850 ,

VLANs are configured at the Hypervisor using vCenter. To configure VLANs, edit the settings of the PortGroup you are interested in adding the VLANs to (VM Network for Management) and add the VLAN number there. See the following document for best practices: 

HPE SimpliVity Networking Best Practices 

Hope it helps.

Hello @gustenar 

That is what I would have expected, but when I changed the VLAN for my ESXI management from VLAN0 to VLAN12, the OVC stopped communicating.  I had the port group assigned to the OVC tagging VLAN12 just like I have on my other OVCs.  That is correct config and there is not a specific VLAN assigned to the OVC inside the OVC config?

There are no commands available to change VLANs at OVC directly. The configuaration is done at the vSwitch level.
