Disappearing Uplinks After Hosts Added To dVS

I added 2 hosts to a dVS (ESXi 6.5), the hosts were then rebooted. I then go check and noticed that no uplinks have appeared and the dVS is out of sync. I did a rectify but nothing. I also tried to remove the hosts and re-add them back to the dVS, but no luck. Any ideas?

Thanks

  Please check the KB: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2042692 which provides the solutions for this issue. If the hosts are on vSSwitches, try to migrate the host to vDS by NIC by NIC(hope you have multiple NIC's configured in teaming/Failover/loadbalancing method), instead all at once to check what is happening.

Try looking at vpxa.log in vcenter server for possible errors to troubleshoot further.
