HI,
i want to migrate N1k DVS to the vsphere vDS.
Please update if i miss the steps
Steps:
1) Disable HA, DRS, EVC on cluster
2) Storage DRS Needs to be manual
3) Remove host one uplink from N1K
4) From Networking - > Manage Hosts -> select Physical Adapsters -> Assign Port Group
5) Migrate VM networking
Thanks
Thanks chay
correct. at the end of the migration also need to remove vib & DVS:
Delete VEM from VSM
Disconnect VSM from vCenter (Important)
Enter the following commands
svs connect <name>
no vmware dvs
no connect
From the ESXi hosts:
vem status
vem-remove -d
esxcli software vib remove -n cisco-vem-v???-esx
esxcli software vib remove --maintenance-mode -n cisco-vem-v???-esx
vem status
Verify that the dvSwitch is no longer present under Networking
Remove VSM Plug-in extension
Go to https://<vcenterip>/mob/?moid=ExtensionManager
Locate your N1KV extension
Down below, click on UnregisterExtension
On the popup window, copy and paste the N1KV extension value and click Invoke Method
Refresh the browser and you should no longer see the extension
Exit vCenter and re-login. You should no longer see N1KV registered extension under Plug-in
Delete VSM
Delete VMkernel Control interface (L3 Only)
Delete unused port-group on vSwitch
Also, make sure you already have any portgroups/VLANs setup on the vDS so that when you migrate VM networking, everything will stay online. I like to migrate one nic to the vDS first, then migrate the vmkernel for management and then proceed with other vmkernel adapters and VM networking and then bring the other physical network adapter over to the vDS.
