how to force vmk1 to use a specific vmnic?

Hi,

In my ESXi host, currently the vMotion port (vmk1) is using vmnic6. I would like to force it to use vmnic7 because we are having problems on vmnic6. Any idea how to do that without rebooting the host?

Thanks,

Ganesh

One option is to edit the VMkernel port group's settings, and override the NIC order, i.e. move all vmnics - except for vmnic7 - to standby.
