How migrate one vmk0 from VSS to VDS in one swoop

This post was originally published on this site

I am having some issues when trying to use powerCLI to migrate the vmk0 from VSS to VDS within my nested ESX environment.  My current code looks something like his as I am trying to migrate the vmkt0 from the default portgroup on VSS over to a portgroup on VDS

 

        foreach ($vmhost in $vmhosts) {

            $vmhostname = $vmhost.name

 

            # Migrating VMkernel port (vmk0) on vSwitch to VDS

            My-Logger “Migrate $vmhostname VMkernel interfaces to VDS $VDSName…”

            $vmk = Get-VMHostNetworkAdapter -Name vmk0 -VMHost $vmhost

            $vdPortgroup = Get-VDPortGroup -VDSwitch (Get-VDSwitch -Name $VDSName) -Name $VLANMGTPortgroup

            Set-VMHostNetworkAdapter -PortGroup $vdPortgroup -VirtualNic $vmk -confirm:$false | Out-File -Append -LiteralPath $verboseLogFile

            }

No matter what I do, it will fail with the following error

 

Set-VMHostNetworkAdapter : 10/31/2020 2:23:59 AM Set-VMHostNetworkAdapter An error occurred while communicating with the

remote host. Network configuration change disconnected the host ‘esx101.tataoui.com’ from vCenter server and has been rolled

back.

   Cmdlets.Commands.Host.SetVMHostNetworkAdapter

 

The log on VCSA say it is a throwable.proxy cause. 

 

What is so puzzling about this is that the same code work when I run this on the physical ESX host, but yet, it will not work within my Nested ESX host?  Any suggestion or feedback would be helpful
