[ZIDAC]

Hi, I am from Spain, excuse my bad Englsih

When i run esxtop network i view my VM and what vmnic are in use

I have some VM use vmnic0 and some VM use vmnic1

I have a VM-Windows2003 using vmnic0 and i want change to use vmnic1?

Is this posible?

Can i change VM to force use another vmnic?

Are there any command to do this?

Thanks in advantage

Hi,

Add new vSwitch and bind the vmnic to that, then move your virtual machine to this vSwitch.

Instead of creating a new vSwitch, and breaking redundancy, you could create a new portgroup on your current vSwitch, and set vmnic0 as the only active vmnic (vmnic1 as unused).

Any special reason for wanting to do this?

With correct switch and Vlan configurations you should never have to force a VM onto a specific vmnic.
