hi all, we have recently changed the vcenter name which broke current openNebula connections, would appreciate your help where in the gui or cli we need to modify the vcenter name so it connects back on.

If you only changed the vcenter name, you can do a host update in every host that belongs to the modified vcenter and rename de attribute “VCENTER\_HOST”

To udpdate a host enter: onehost update

Could you connect your vCenter hosts modifying the above attribute?
