Hi Admins,
I have a test environment which containing approx 800 VMs.
We have had a lot of issues with our current vCenter (database corruption etc.)
Now we would like to "upgrade" our vCenter to 6.7 , but I don't want to migrate old "errors", I would like to do a clean new install and then just connect my VMhosts to my new 6.7 vcsa.
I don't care about old performance graphs etc, all I care about is that my VMs should/must be up and running all of the time.
My plan is :
shutdown my old vcsa
start my new vcsa (same name as the old one)
reconnect my VMhosts.
When I've done above all should be fine and my VMs should be happy as usual.
But all my VMs are connected to a distributed switch. When they are migrated to my new vCenter I guess the portgroups on each VM will say something like "invalid-backing"
I don't want to change the PG on 800 VMs manually...
Would it work if I took a backup of my old DVswitch and just did restore on my new vcsa?
Would the portgroups on my VMs then be vaild?
Regards
Johan
