      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi. We are currently in the process of upgrading our VDS from v7.0.0 to v7.0.2 and have done about 5 so far and we stumbled on this in the documentation.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.networking.doc/GUID-330A0689-574A-4589-9462-14CA03F3F2F4.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.networking.doc/GUID-330A0689-574A-4589-9462-14CA03F3F2F4.html&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;which gives this bit of scary advice.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The upgrade of a distributed switch causes the hosts and virtual machines attached to the switch to experience a brief downtime. For more information, see &lt;A href="https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/52621" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;KB 52621&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Looking at this KB it is referencing a specific version, so I am confused whether we need to stop our VDS upgrades now as I have just gotten lucky so far and re-think this.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If you look at the v6.5 documentation it says the VDS upgrade causes no issues, the issues and this warning started appearing in the v6.7 documentation so I am very confused what is going on. Thanks,,,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
