I'm reading KB 1029498 VMware KB: Moving an ESX/ESXi host with vDS from one vCenter Server to another, and I'm confused on how to to perform step #2 if my management vmkernel virtual adapter is part of the vDS trunk. If I remove the management vmkernel IP, I essentially lose access to the ESXi host. I feel like I'm missing something really simple here, but can anyone suggest how to move an ESXi host where all the vmkernel (management and vMotion) ports are on a vDS to another host while maintaining uptime?
Thanks in advance,
Tanya
