Can we move-vm to more than one NIC properly

[ccnk]

Hi ,

I have a requirement to move VMs from one esxi to other esxi with Move-VM but unable to figure out if we have more NICs on VM like  3 , 4 , 5 ,6 NICs , is it possible to move to right adapter to right port group. below is the script in my mind kindly help.

$networkAdapter = Get-NetworkAdapter -vm VMname
if ($networkAdapter.Count -ge 1) {

foreach ( $nadapter in $networkAdapter) {

$destinationPortGroup = Get-VDPortgroup -VDSwitch 'NewvDS' -Name "$($nadapter.NetworkName)-new"
Move-VM -VM VMname -Destination Esxiserver -NetworkAdapter $nadapter -PortGroup $destinationPortGroup -WhatIf

}

}

The Move-VM cmdlet parameters NetworkAdapter and Portgroup both accept an array of values.
That allows you to specify per vNIC to which destination portgroup they shall be moved.

Could you please help with sample code to test from my end. Thank you in advance.

You could try something like this

$vNic = Get-NetworkAdapter -VM VMname
$pg = $vNic | %{Get-VirtualPortGroup -Name "$($_.NetworkName)-new"}

Move-VM -VM VMName -Destination Esxiserver -NetworkAdapter $vNic -PortGroup $pg
