VM still shows old network

[chh_sys]

Hi,

we migrated our VMs to distributed switches some time ago. Now I wanted to clean up prior to the vSphere update and found that some VMs should still be connected to the old "VM Network". Checking the machines I found the same on each of them. Every machine has one vNIC connected to the distributed switch. Still in the Summary shows 2 connections one to "VM Network" and one to the dvSwitch.

I tried changing the port group but as soon as I select anything other than "VM Network" it show 2 connections.

In the vmx-file there is no reference to "VM Network", unregistering and reregistering the machine did not help either.

Any idea what can be done?

Thanks

Christian

Did you ever get this fixed I am starting to get the same problems

[chh_sys]

No, I did not find anything new or got any feedback.

But as all these VMs will be going away soon anyhow I did not push this or open a ticket with vmware.

I found the solution.

It was due to the snapshot that were for that VM requiring the old network connection. Once I removed the old snapshots the additional old network also disappeared.

Tim,

that's it!

All these VMs have snapshots from when they were connected to the old network.

Thanks.
