one of my hosts in vsphere is not showing any physical nics attached to the vswitch. When I go to manage adapters it shows no nics attached. however I am still connected to the host via vmk0.
any idea why?
tried rebooting the host and same problem.
I am connected via vcenter as well as the host via the viclient
Just a thought, can you enter the host in maintenance mode and try to remove it from the vds?
you need to make sure that no VMs are hosted on the host even if it's powered off coz it might block a port on that vds through this host.
What's the output of: "esxcfg-nics -l" ? Is it showing all the NICs?
It seems to be a driver issue or maybe those NICs are disabled from BIOS.
it shows all the nics
I tried removing it fom the dvswitch and readded it back. But its giving me this error
vDS operation failed on host xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, got (vim.fault.ResourceInUse) exception

yes I was able to remove the vds by logging into the viclient to the host. definitely weird that this happens
thanks
While trying to move uplinks from DVs to another I had the error of
Reconfigure vSphere Distributed Switch:Cannot complete a vSphere Distributed Switch operation for one or more host members.
See the error stack for details on the cause of this problem.

In order to solve it I was connected with the vi client directly to the ESXi and then I was be able to remove the Uplinks
