"Migrate Existing Virtual Adapters" from standard switch to a dVSwitch

[manfriday]

Hi!

Is there a way to use PowerCLI to migrate a vmkernel nic from a standard vSwitch to a Distributed vSwitch?

Thanks!

Have a look at my dvSwitch scripting – Part 8 – Get and Set network adapters post.

You also can check the PowerCLI 4.1 distributed switches support in this blog post

If the host is already member of the the distributed switch you can use Set-NetworkAdater to move the nic:

Set-NetworkAdapter -NetworkAdapter $vmkernelNic -NetworkName "vdPortGroup"

Actually the example is for VM virtual nics. You can create new VMHost VMKernel network adapter attached to the distributed switch using New-VMHostNetworkAdapter -PortGroup dvportgroup but you can't move the VMkernel to vDS using Set-VMHostNetworkAdapter
