  • 1.  DistributedVirtualSwitchInfo with id 'xxx' does not exist

    Posted Oct 31, 2020 11:26 PM

    Hello there.

    I am trying to create vmk intarfaces with New-VMHostNetworkAdapter cmlet, but gettin the error "DistributedVirtualSwitchInfo with id 50 02 5a 5c 8c fc 30 be-15 99 73 74 7d 87 b7 37' does not exist."

    I've tried to specify vDS name in the cmdlet, tried to specify the variable, in which the switch object was stored (the result of Get-VirtualSwitch and Get-VDSwitch cmdlets), but still no luck.

    Furthermore, the vDS key is the same, vCenter is complaining about:

    PS C:\Windows\system32> $vswitch.key

    50 02 5a 5c 8c fc 30 be-15 99 73 74 7d 87 b7 37

    What is the problem?

    Did you already stop/start your PS session?

    Which PS, PCLI and vSphere version are you using?

    Does it work from the Web Client?

    Eh, I'm sorry for the stupid issue.

    The single vmhost was configured manually from the Web Client successfully, but I forgot to migrate other hosts to this particular vDS (hosts in this nested lab should participate in 2 vDS).

    Thanks for the help.
