Most NSX-T deployment examples on ESXi leverage a VSS/VDS with dedicated pnic(s) for the ESXi vmkernel interfaces. However, there is a way of consolidating all those vmknics onto the NSX-T N-VDS, thus removing the need for additional physical connectivity dedicated to a VSS or VDS. This is particularly important in cases where the ESXi host only has two physical uplinks. This paper is shows how to move vmknics and vmnics from VSS to N-VDS in this two-uplinks-only ESXi host scenario.
