VCSA reinstall problem

Hi all.

One day some services on my vCenter Server Appliance 6.7 have failed to start without obvious reasons. I couldn't manage solving this trouble and decided to reinstall VCSA. While doing it I have met one more problem - all my physical NICs assigned to distributed switch, which I can not use for new VCSA instance (Using of NICs attached to non-ephemeral distributed virtual port groups is not supported). So, I have no unused uplinks on ESXi host for assignation to standard switch and can not attach new VCSA instance to any existing portgroups. In addition, I wouldn't like to reset network settings on ESXi host (some VMs are running there).

Could you please give me an advice or link to resolution of similar problem?
