Changing Load Balancing from the Service Console

Is it possible to change the Load Balancing setting on a virtual switch from the service console? VI3. I have googled and tried the esxcfg-vswitch command with no luck.

The right command is vimsh:

vimsh -n -e "hostsvc/net/vswitch_setpolicy --nicteaming-policy loadbalance_ip vSwitch0"

Why dont you just do it from the vi client?

If you want to script it, you will have to use the 'vimsh' command. Theres a paper on vimsh commands on xtravirt.

Good Luck
