Complete the Migration of the Physical Network Adapters to the vSphere Distributed Switch for Availability Zone 2 for an NSX-T Workload Domain

In VMware Cloud Foundation, after you add all hosts in Availability Zone 2 to the vSphere Distributed Switch and configure the VMkernel adapters for vSphere vMotion and vSAN traffic, migrate the last physical network adapters to complete the networking configuration.

You repeat this procedure for all ESXi hosts in Availability Zone 2.

Host	Physical Adapter	Uplink
sfo02w01esx01.sfo01.rainpole.local	vmnic0	Uplink1
sfo02w01esx02.sfo01.rainpole.local	vmnic0
sfo02w01esx03.sfo01.rainpole.local	vmnic0
sfo02w01esx04.sfo01.rainpole.local	vmnic0

Procedure

1. In a Web browser, log in to vCenter Server by using the vSphere Client.

7. Migrate the last physical adapter from the standard switch to the sfo01-w01-vds01 distributed switch.
   1. On the Manage physical adapters page, select vmnic0, and click Assign uplink.
   2. In the Select an Uplink dialog box, select Uplink1, select Apply this uplink assignment to the rest of the hosts, and click OK.
   3. On the Manage physical network adapters page, click Next.
8. On the Manage VMkernel adapters page, click Next.
9. On the Migrate VM networking page, click Next.
10. On the Ready to Complete page, click Finish.
11. Remove the standard switch on the host.
    1. In the Hosts and clusters inventory, expand the sfo01w01vc01.sfo01.rainpole.local tree and expand the sfo01-w01dc data center.
    2. Select the sfo02w01esx01.sfo01.rainpole.local host and click the Configure tab.
    3. In the Networking section, click Virtual switches.
    4. Expand the Standard Switch: vSwitch0 section, click the horizontal ellipsis icon and click Remove.
