How do I change the ip addresses on VMWare 3.5 host server?

Hello,

Need expert advice ASAP! We are running VMWare server 3.5 on 2 host servers connected to a Dell MD 3000i SAN. We recently had to change ip addresses on our network. I have been trying to follow some documentation that I found on changing ip addresses but have been not had any success. I placed a call to VMWare support Friday prior to doing this this weekend and they never got back to me.

This is vmware ESX server 3.5 - right?

Assuming you just want to change the IP add of service console, this is easy, you dont have to read any guide
Login to console
esxcfg-vswif -l
look for the port group name "Service Console", normally the interface name is vswif0
