Migrate vmkernel port group from distributed switch to standard switch without vCenter Server

Hi,

I need a general workaround for the following problem in a vSphere 6.5 environment:

One Distributed Switch configured with port groups for VMs and one vmkernel port group for the management.

No standard switch is in use or available at the ESXi hosts.

In case of a crash of the vCenter Server, and if no backup of the vCenter is available, how can I restore a standard switch and migrate the existing vmkernel port group from the distributed switch to the standard switch?

I can login to the "host client" to the ESXi host directly, see the existing vmkernel port group at the dvSwitch, but I cannot move it to the newly created standard switch.

Is there any solution for this??

Kind Regards,

Andre
