Guys,

I'm installing a virtual IP Office R11.1 at the moment.

In the old days you could change the ip adress via de VM ware console before startup and ignition of the IP Office.

Now, since I do not have a pc or laptop in the 192.168.42.x network I cannot change the IP via webmanagement or manager.

But how can I change it?

Tnx

Procedure

To open console page:

Using the vSphere desktop client:

Select Inventory view.

Locate the required virtual machine in the inventory navigation tree on the left. If not shown, select View > Show VMs in Inventory.

Click on the virtual machine.

Click on the Console tab. All cursor and keyboard action are now applied to the console window.

Using the vSphere web client:

On the Summary tab, in the Guest OS Details pane, click Launch Console.

The virtual machine console opens in a new tab of the Web browser.

Click anywhere inside the console window to enable your mouse, keyboard, and other input devices to work in the console.
In the console display, enter the command login.
Enter user id root and password Administrator.
Once logged in nano /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 or ifcfg-eth1, edit the network settings.
Change the BOOTPROTO to static.
Set the IP address, mask and default gateway as required.
To save the file, press Ctrl+X and enter y.
Press enter to save the edited file over the existing file.
Enter systemctl restart network.
Enter ip a s eth0 or ip a s eth1 to check the address.
Power off and then power on the virtual machine again.
