    <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hello,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I already made a backup of database and a spanshot of the VM. Also the vcenter VM is on a standard switch.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am going to reinstall keeping the data that is already in database.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;are you gonna reuse the same external database?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Your VDS will continue to work without vCenter, as vCenter only offers the management part of the distributed switch.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The information necessary to do the networking is stored on a shared storage, so the hosts know what to do, even if the vCenter is not available.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Tim&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;The hosts will have a read only copy of the distributed switch so will continue to operate but there is a few unknowns here.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Are you wiping the database or just reinstalling vCenter?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If reinstalling you will be fine if you keep the existing database.&amp;nbsp; One thing I would suggest is you snapshot the vCenter server before you start and backup the databases.&amp;nbsp; Also if it is possible I would move the vcenter VM to a standard switch if you can as without vCenter you can't make any changes to add a vm to a distributed switch so if your Prod vLan is only available on the distributed switch you may have issues if you play around with any network settings of the vCenter Vm.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
