ESXi hosts showing out of sync with distributed switch
Last updated:
Fix:
-
Move all attached virtual machines to another host or to a standard switch.
- A new standard switch can be built using one of the physical adapters that passes the correct VLANs from the vDS. See the note below on Load Balancing information.
-
Move all vmkernels from the vDS to a standard switch.
- Again, a new standard switch can be built using one of the physical adapters that passes the correct VLANs from the vDS. See the note below on Load Balancing information.
-
Remove any remaining physical adapters from the vDS.
-
Remove the host from the vDS. Click Home > Networking. Right click the vDS, click Add and Manage Hosts > Remove Hosts, and follow the wizard.
-
Add the host back to the vDS along with its vmkernels, physical adapters, and VMs.
