We are in the process of Migrating our 5.5 esxi hosts and vCenter 5.5 from 1Gb Nics to 10Gb Nics.
We currently have Two Distributed Switches, one which is has two 1Gb Nics which has a MGT port group which has a virtual adapter for management traffic. The other distributed Switches has two 10Gb Nics in them, with a MGT port group and port group for each vlans. We have already migrated the VM traffic over to the 10Gig. I just need to migrate the virtual adapter for management traffic over to 10Gb Nics.
All the documentation states you can migrate virtual adapters between standard switch and Distributed Switch and vice versus, but do you know if it is supported to migrate virtual adapters between Distributed Switches. I cant seem to find anything to confirm this on the Documentation Center.
In my virtual test lab i have managed to do this, by clicking on the Distributed Switch which you want to migrate the virtual adapters to and got to manage virtual adapters. You can click on add and you can chose a option to migrate a existing virtual adapters. From here you can migrate the virtual adapter. This work in my test lab, but i wonder if anyone has tried this in a live environment on physical hardware and if this is support by VMware?
