For some reasons you might want to change CVM IP address
hange CVM IP address – Preparation
nutanix@cvm$ ncli host ls | grep "Metadata store status"
For every host in the cluster, Metadata store enabled on the node should be shown
nutanix@NTNX-CVM:~$ ncli host ls | grep "Metadata store status"
Metadata store status : Metadata store enabled on the node
Metadata store status : Metadata store enabled on the node
Metadata store status : Metadata store enabled on the node
Metadata store status : Metadata store enabled on the node

If mode marked to be removed from metadata store is displayed, do not proceed with the IP address reconfiguration, and contact Nutanix support to resolve the issue.

- Hyper-V hosts must be connected to a 10 GbE switch that has jumbo frames enabled. Cluster creation will fail if the switch does not support jumbo frames or does not have jumbo frames enabled.
- Confirm that IPv6 link-local is enabled on the subnet. To check if it is enabled, followVerifying IPv6 Link-Local Connectivity. If IPv6 link-local is not enabled, do not use this procedure. Instead, change the IP addresses manually by following Changing a Controller VM IP Address.
- IPv6 link-local enabled.
- Windows 7, Vista, or MacOS.
- (Windows only) Bonjour installed (included with iTunes or downloadable here.
IPv6 service names are uniquely generated at the factory and have the following form (note the final period):
NTNX-block_serial_number-node_location-CVM.local.If you are reassigning a Controller VM IP address to another Controller VM, you must perform this complete procedure twice: once to assign intermediate IP addresses and again to assign the desired IP addresses.
For example, if Controller VM A has IP address 172.16.0.11 and Controller VM B has IP address 172.16.0.10 and you want to swap them, you would need to reconfigure them with different IP addresses (such as 172.16.0.100 and 172.16.0.101) before changing them to the IP addresses in use initially.

and we done, CVM IP was changed and cluster back to life. obviously I had to remove IP addresses but you can trust me – it does work 🙂
Hi, How do I remove the cluster from reconfig mode? I put it in reconfig state and did not really had to change IP. How can I exit reconfig mode without going to CVM-IP:2100 and clicking “Reconfigure” button.
What else is reconfig mode used for?
