Migrate Physical and Virtual NICs to a vSphere Standard Switch

You can migrate both physical and virtual network adapters to a vSphere standard switch simultaneously.

Prerequisites

Verify that you are connected to a vCenter Server system.

Procedure

1. Get the physical network adapters that you want to migrate.

   $pNics = Get-VMHostNetworkAdapter -VMHost $vmhost -Physical

2. Get the virtual network adapters that you want to migrate.

   $vNicManagement = Get-VMHostNetworkAdapter -VMHost $vmhost -Name vmk0
   $vNicvMotion = Get-VMHostNetworkAdapter -VMHost $vmhost -Name vmk1

3. Get the vSphere standard switch to which you want to migrate the network adapters.

   $vSwitch = Get-VirtualSwitch -VMHost $vmhost -Name vSwitch0

4. Migrate all network adapters to the vSphere standard switch.

   Add-VirtualSwitchPhysicalNetworkAdapter -VirtualSwitch $vSwitch -VMHostPhysicalNic $pNics -VMHostVirtualNic $vNicManagement,$vNicvMotion
