How to change svs connection remote ip address - vCenter was reloctated

[nick_adair]

We just finished relocating our vCenter from one subnet to another, the IP address changed and now we can't add any vmware port groups in the vNetwork Distributed Switch.

When we tried to add the port-profile the warning was "Warning: Operation succeeded locally but update failed on vCenter server. Please check if you are connected to vCenter Server."  We checked the configuration on the Nexus 1010V and found the culprit, the svs connection back to the vCenter had the old remote ip address.

What is the preferred method to change it without wiping out the config?

Thanks in advance.

The way to do this is the following:

n1000v(config)# svs connection vcenter

n1000v(config-svs-conn)# no connect

n1000v(config-svs-conn)# remote ip address 1.1.1.1

n1000v(config-svs-conn)# connect

Basically disable the connection, change the IP, and then re-enable the connection.

Worked like a champ.  I was worried about losing my config and having to rebuild a bunch of stuff.

Thanks again!!
