If like us, you need to change the IP Address of you vCenter Database server, here are a few pointers
vCenter accesses the DB through an ODBC connection. That’s normally
configured with a FQDN or shortname rather than an IP address so the
change shouldn’t cause a problem.
You can test it by going to Start –> Administrative Tools –> Data source
(ODBC). Open that up and click on the ‘System DSN’ tab.
Select the vCenter DSN and click on configure. From there you can run
through the wizard without changing anything and at the end there is ‘Test
connection button’. If that works you should be good to go
As long as your DNS servers are up to date there shouldn’t be an issue.
