How to edit "Distributed Switches" with esxi or new vcenter?

Hi there

I have a esxi host that has a distributed switch and a distributed portgroup added by a vcenter v6.7. this vcenter is corrupted and I deleted it and I installed new vcenter v7 and I've added this esxi host to it, but I can't view distributed switch and distributed port group added by previous vcenter. also I can't edit this vSwitch and portgroup in the esxi host.

Why does this happen? Is it possible to view or edit the distributed switch and distributed portgroup from new vcenter?

Take a look to https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1022312

You should create a special PortGroup on you vDS for your vSphere Mgmt VMs like vCenter and use the non default settings.
