Simple way, update before you move it away.

Admininstrate -> vCenter Server setting -> Advanced Settings.

I installed Vcenter on a VM. so I did clone. but the IP need to be updated.

because the SSO still try to find the old IP. updated many configuration files, still stucks.

I followed guide from VM site. still can’t fixed my problem. so I created an dummy network interface, and with old IP. then all looks fine. you can go vcenter to change IP now.

Files related with IP:
