Hi,
We are having a network redesign and the environment is using the standard vSwitch but we need to move to DV switches for a number of reasons. What's the best way to do this? I did it probably 5 years ago and it was very manual task where you remove one NIC from a host and reconfigure it to DV switch cut over VMs then do the same on the other NIC. I am hoping the process could be easier now.
We are currently using vSphere 6.0 U3 but will be 6.7 U1 by the time DV switches are implemented.
Thanks
