Summary

By default, the DSVA uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to acquire an IP address when it is deployed. However, you need to assign a static IP address to the DSVA when deploying in an environment without a DHCP server.

Details

To assign a static IP address to the virtual appliance:

Using vSphere Client, log on to the vCenter that hosts the DSVA.
Select the appliance and click the Console tab.
Log in to the appliance by pressing F2 and entering the default username “dsva” and password “dsva”.
Select Configure Management Network from the menu and press ENTER.
Change the values of the following entries to match that of your network:
- Hostname
- IP address
- Netmask
- Gateway
- DNS
Press ENTER to save the changes.
Reboot the appliance by selecting Reboot System from the main menu.
