Migrating vSphere Networking

For environments with vSphere 6.X you can migrate an existing vSphere Distributed Switch (VDS) configuration to an NSXenvironment backed by NSX Virtual Distributed Switch (N-VDS).

For VDS 6.5.0 and 6.6.0, this migration will move VDS, compute hosts, PNICs, vmkNICs, and vNIC backings to N-VDS.

Note: For VDS 7.0, vSphere networking to N-VDS migration is not supported. You must perform a fresh install of NSX and configure it for use with your vSphere deployment using VDS 7.0.

You can migrate VDS configurations to NSX only if NSX-V is not installed on the host.
