Migrating vCenter VM to vDS

[GiulianoAI]

What happen if vCenter VM Network Portgroup is migrated to vDS Portgroup? Is there any impact to it, or we got disconnected after migrating the portgroup?

There's no impact if the vDS port group has the same access as the vSS port group did.

If the destination port group on Distributed Switch has the correct configuration, the network interruption will be minimal, maybe 1-2 pings, depends on how fast your physical switch updates the MAC address on CAM.

You can use the migrate virtual machine network feature on distributed switch or just go to the VM settings and change the port group where VM is attached. See the following link with the migrate virtual machine network feature: VMware - How to Migrate VM's from DVswitch to vSwitch ? - UnixArena
