Backup Vmotion configuration

My kickstart script works fine. I need to add a second vmotiona and service console nics.

what is the syntax for this. I have managed to add the vswitch but need to add vmkernel and service console.

N.B. command line is what am looking..

Re: Backup Vmotion configuration

If you have managed to add the vSwitch, you can add the second Service Console via

esxcfg-vswitch --add -pg Service \Console2 vSwitchx

vSwitchx- is the vSwitch in picture.

Next you need to assign a virtual interface to the above port group.

esxcfg-vswitch --add vswif1 --portgroup Service \Console2 --ip x.x.x.x --netmask x.x.x.0

Make sure of your network while assigning the IP address and the subnet mask.

Hope this helps..
