Hello ,

Based on the description you've provided, it does sound like there may have been a removal or conversion of the Nutanix internal vSwitch on the ESXi hosts.

Please review the following KB on the Nutanix Support Portal.

Ahmed,
Is this for a production Nutanix install?

If I had to bet, it would be that you tried changing the IP Addresses against the documented IP Change process, and the cluster didn't like that.

Please open a support ticket and we'll help you fix it.

How about:
1. SSH to new CVM IP and then change it back to orginial IP? You can do this by just "sudo ifconfig eth0 IP/netmask" command

2. Then restart the cluster again?

If not succeeded, I am afraid of having to recreate cluster again.

You should not have had to re-foundation the cluster.

Did you open a support case?

If so, can you please send me your ticket number to jon@nutanix.com? Happy to look into it.

If not, please consider doing so in the future, we're here to help !
