VirtualCenter Server Does Not Detect Changes in Host IP Address Unless SSL Certificate Verification Has Been Enabled
Details
A VirtualCenter Server system responds to detected changes in a host's IP address only if the connection to the host is protected by validation of the host's SSL certificate thumbprint. By default, SSL Certificate Verification is not turned on.
Solution
Enable SSL Certificate Verification in the VirtualCenter Server Settings panel, and reconnect all hosts so their SSL certificates are recorded by the VirtualCenter Server.
Follow these steps:
-
In the VI Client menu bar, choose Administration, and then choose VirtualCenter Management Server Configuration.
-
Click SSL Settings.
-
Select the Check host certificates check box to enable SSL Certificate Verification.
-
Reconnect all ESX Server hosts.
For more information on certificate verification, see the Server Configuration Guide for your ESX Server product.
