Deleting a distributed port group
Delete a distributed port group from an existing VMware VDS.
•
Before deleting a distributed port group, reassign all powered-on VMs to a different distributed
port group. If the VMs are powered off, delete the distributed port group.
If you delete a distributed port group with powered-on VMs and network adapter
numbers assigned to the distributed port group, the system returns an error.
•
Migrate the VMKernel ports from the VMware vSphere ESXi host attached to the VMware VDS.
Migrating VM distributed port group assignments to a different switch
If there are powered-on VMs on the distributed port group, migrate VM distributed port group assignments
to a different distributed or standard switch.
About this task
This procedure is not required if there are no powered-on VMs on the distributed port group. VMs
connected to the distributed port group can be powered-off to remove the distributed port group.
Use the VM migration wizard to migrate any port group types. However, use caution when migrating the
VMware vCenter Server VMs, because a disconnect can cause the loss of the VMware vCenter Server,
which could prevent the VM port group from migrating.
Use the VM migration wizard to migrate from a VMware vSphere Standard Switch to a VMware VDS, a
VMware VDS to a VMware vSphere Standard Switch, or a VMware VDS to a VMware VDS seamlessly.
Before you begin
Verify the powered-on VMs on all VMware vSphere ESXi hosts attached to an existing VMware VDS are
not assigned to any distributed port groups.
Verify there is an available distributed port group to which to migrate the powered-on VMs.
Create another switch with the following criteria:
•
If migrating to a different VMware VDS:
—
Attach at least one VMNIC as an uplink for a new distributed or standard switch.
—
Create the distributed port groups with the same name and VLAN ID as the existing switch.
•
If migrating to a standard switch:
—
Create a new standard switch and attach at least one VMNIC as an uplink for the standard
switch.
—
vNIC0 and vNIC1 connect to a different set of physical switches than vNIC2 and vNIC3. Do
not add vNIC2 and/or vNIC3 to vSwitch0, because it could cause the VMware vSphere ESXi
host to lose network connectivity if management traffic gets switched.
—
If no VMNICs are available, migrate one VMNIC from the VMware VDS. Keep the second
VMNIC on the Distributed Switch for VM traffic to continue to communicate
