Hi All,
I am starting to pull out what hair I have left over here! I have been trying to figure this out for a few days now and have tried the steps below on two of my hosts unsuccessfully..
I have 5 ESXi 6.7 hosts. On each of them, the Management network (vmk0) is on vswitch0, which is uplinked using vmnic0. I need to re-use vmnic0 for adding a new network to the hosts. I have a 10GB port (vmnic2) unused that I want to move vmk0 & vswitch0 over to, since my new network does not have any 10GB ports available.
I have connected vmnic2 and set the VLAN on the physical switch port accordingly, and changed vmnic2 to be Uplink 1. I have also followed the instructions in this document to set the Management vmKernel to use the MAC of vmnic2, but once I disconnect the patch going in to vmnic0, I cannot communicate with the host until I plug it back in. It seems that for some reason, I cannot change the host over to using vmnic2 for vswitch0.
What am I missing that I am not doing correctly?
Thanks!
Tim
