echo VMotion IP Address will be $vi3vmip
echo VMotion Subnet Mask will be $vi3vmsm
echo VMotion Default Gateway will be $vi3vmdg
echo ———————————————————————————-

#esxcfg-vswitch vSwitch0 -D “VM Network” #esxcfg-vswitch -U vmnic0 vSwitch0 #esxcfg-vswitch -U vmnic1 vSwitch0 #esxcfg-vswif -d vswif0 #esxcfg-vswitch -d vSwitch0 #service mgmt-vmware restart
