Hi All

I have requirement to assign vmnic1 to dvUplink 2 on C01-A-BACK-VDS.

After migrating vmk0 to C01-A-MGMT-V995, then migrate vmnic0 to dvUplink1.

But after I use the script to migrate vmnic0, vmnic 1 does not exist on dvUplink2

I don't know what caused it.

The operation process is as follows:
The following PowerCLI script is executed for the first time to realize the migration of vmnic1 to dvUplink1

The result is as follows

Then I executed the following script to modify the variables again, the vmnic1 network card contained in dvUplink2 no longer exists.

The result is as follows

I don’t know how to add vmnic0 to dvUplink1 without affecting other dvUplinks that have added vmnic network cards.

Did you try with the Replace option and then listing all existing dvUplinks + the new one?

I am not sure how to do it?

Which line of code to modify？

I did something similar in Solved: Re: Apply VMNICs to LAG Uplink - VMware Technology Network VMTN

I tried this way, but an error was reported.

MethodInvocationException: Exception calling "UpdateNetworkConfig" with "2" argument(s): "There is an error in the XML document."

I have no idea what you are trying to do here, but that is not what I meant.
You repeat all the existing Uplinks and add the new one.

Step 1: Add vmnic1 to dvUplink2
Step 2: Migrate vmk0 from vSwitch0 to C01-A-MGMT-V995 port group
Step 3: Add vmnic0 to dvUplink1
Step 4: Add vmnic2 to dvUplink3
Step 4: Add vmnic3 to dvUplink4

But when performing step 3, always clear the vmnic contained in the remaining dvUplink.

Maybe I used a loop to achieve this goal.

step 1: Migrate [vmnic1] of All Hosts to [dvUplink2] of [C01-A-BACK-VDS]

Step 2: [vmk0] of All Hosts has been moved to [C01-A-MGMT-V995] PortGroup

Step 3:  Migrate [vmnic0~4] of All Hosts to [dvUplink1~3] of [C01-A-BACK-VDS]

The effect is as follows：
