    <description>&lt;P&gt;Your script is only to change VM NIC on the same host and then perform vMotion afterwards in vCenter, right?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I have live VM running on portgroup of a VDS (v7.0.0) and I would like to vMotion it to a portgroup of a VSS on a different host. vCenter does not allow me to perform such vMotion...&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I can not do cold migration...&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Any suggestions?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I've just been testing this in a lab, no issues vmotioning from a vDS to a vSS. Aslong as the vmotion networks can communicate there shouldn't be any issues. Could you share the error with me?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Screenshot is attached. The VM is running on the VDS currently on host1 and when I try to vMotion it to VSS on host2, I got this and can not proceed (if the VM is live).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="MicrosoftTeams-image.png" style="width: 606px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/102985i68835DE861C1143D/image-size/large/is-moderation-mode/true?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="MicrosoftTeams-image.png" alt="MicrosoftTeams-image.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thank you, I see the problem now, I went vSS to vDS. Can you migrate the VM into a vSS before vmotion? Edit Setting change the host network to a vSS and then migrate to the destination?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Yes, VSS to VDS is fine. My challenge is from VDS to VSS.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I can move the VM onto a portgroup of local VSS and then vMotion. But it would is pretty handful for large number of VMs, hence I am looking for an easier alternative ways...&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Here you go, powercli is the easiest way to achieve that&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;First connect to your vcenter -&amp;nbsp;Connect-VIServer -Server X.X.X.X&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Change the targetNetwork to whatever you want it to be. Change the vmNames to whatever you need them to be "vm1", "vm2", "v3" and that'll migrate them all across.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Output from my lab&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;PS C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop&amp;gt; .\change_network.ps1&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Name Type NetworkName MacAddress WakeOnLan&lt;BR /&gt;Enabled&lt;BR /&gt;---- ---- ----------- ---------- ---------&lt;BR /&gt;Network adapter 1 Vmxnet3 Management_VLA… 00:0c:29:68:c5:b6 True&lt;BR /&gt;Network changed for nsxvcenter.homelab.local to Management_VLAN70&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Change the script to ps1 extension and obviously demo it in a lab before running a random persons script &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://communities.vmware.com/html/@DCF4E2F7991292CEECF250394DB2C2BC/emoticons/1f642.png" alt=":slightly_smiling_face:" title=":slightly_smiling_face:" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;vMotion from VDS to VSS to another host is not possible. First move all VMs to local VSS then vMotion all to another host. Please go through the following document for the same:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://vmexplorer.com/2018/11/02/vcenter-server-6-5-migrate-vms-from-virtual-distributed-switch-to-standard-switch/" target="_blank"&gt;https://vmexplorer.com/2018/11/02/vcenter-server-6-5-migrate-vms-from-virtual-distributed-switch-to-standard-switch/&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Regards,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Sachchidanand&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Yeah, that is one option...The other workaround I am also thinking about is to extend the VDS to the destination host. vMotion the VM to the destination host first on VDS and then change the VM NIC to the VSS on destination host.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Please make sure vDS version is same on source and destination. Mismatch of vDS version may cause issue. please go through the following KB:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/52248" target="_blank"&gt;https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/52248&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Regards,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Sachchidanand&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Understood.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Is there a quick compatibility matrix between vCenter/vSphere ESXi and VDS version? Release notes do not seem to provide the information.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Yes it'll only change the vNIC for you, you can build onto it if you want to include vmotion in there as well.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
