Need to upgrade the Vnic adapter from E1000 to Vmxnet3

[Rakesh_098]

Hi Friends,

I am looking for a script which will upgrade the old Nic adapter from E1000 to Vmxnet3. I tried few scripts but didn't get succeeded.

Can someone help me out to get me a good script.

Thanks,

Rakesh

Hi,

moved the thread to the PoweCLI forums.

You can do this with a oneliner:

Get-VM YOUR-VM |Get-NetworkAdapter |Set-NetworkAdapter -Type "vmxnet3"

Perhaps make sure to first save your network settings from inside the guest OS, they will be lost when you change the NIC type

Hey Tim,

Thanks for your reply. I am aware of this one liner command. What i am looking here is after the Nic up-gradation the static IP/subnet mask should  get assigned automatically from old NIc to new Nic.
