Changing ESX Server IP
I have Veeam 6 backing up a single VM on an ESX server.
I need to change the IP address of this ESX server. What process should I use to update Veeam and the backup job?
If I go into the properties of the current ESX server, it does not allow me to update the IP. I'm assuming I need to remove and re-add the server, but I want to make sure there are no other steps required.
Thanks

Changing host's IP address should not have any effect on your jobs if you configured them using DNS host names. Thanks.

Re: Changing ESX Server IP
Unfortunately, I added the server via IP address because I didn't expect the IP address to change. Lesson learned on that one.
Having said that, will I need to remove/re-add the ESX server from Veeam, and recreate the backup job?

Re: Changing ESX Server IP
Wouldn't the powershell script for changing the "name" of a server added in B&R work? I use the script to change customers IP of their VCs all time time as well as their netname. I don't have the script on me or memorized but if you open a support case we can get it for you but it may be in the powershell forums.

Hi Jeff,
If you're talking about the script that makes changes to Veeam B&R configuration database, then it might help, though we do not recommend or support manual configuration data modifications.
Thanks!

Re: Changing ESX Server IP
This is the one I was talking about Vitaly.
$server = Get-VBRServer | ?{$_.name -eq "Name/IP of Server"}
$server.SetName("New Name/IP of Server")
$server = Get-VBRServer | ?{$_.name -eq "Name/IP of Server"}
$server.SetName("New Name/IP of Server")
