AFAIK vmnic0 is assigned by default to vSwitch0.

Try unlinking it first with: esxcfg-vswitch -U vmnic0 vSwitch0

I use the procedure below to delete vSwitch0 and create a service console switch named vsw-cos.

esxcfg-vswif -d vswif0

esxcfg-vswitch --del-pg='Service Console' vSwitch0

esxcfg-vswitch -d vSwitch0

esxcfg-vswitch -a vsw-cos

esxcfg-vswitch -L vmnic0 vsw-cos

esxcfg-vswitch --add-pg='Service Console' vsw-cos

esxcfg-vswif -a vswif0 -p 'Service Console' -i <ESXHOSTIP> -n <ESXHOSTSUBNETMASK>
