  • 1.  Unable to make vSwitch changes

    Hi there

    I am having some weird issues.
    Got a brand new cluster and first started noticing issues when I tried to move vmkernel from vSS to vDS.
    However, moving VM to a portgroup with same vlan as vmk worked fine.
    I removed the vDS and started from scratch only to see more weird behaviour.
    Although I could add hosts to vDS I could not add uplinks.

    I then tried to create a simple vSS on each host (without adapter assigned) and that failed too.
    Could not make changes to existing vSwitch either.

    Error is a specified parameter is not correct:

    I tried via vCenter and host UI, both fail.

    Managed to create a vSwitch via esxcli but could not delete it via UI.

    This is really strange. It is not a permission issue as it works on other hosts in vcenter just fine.

    Scratching my head with this one. Have logged SR but any thoughts would be appreciated

    Is this a nested or bare metal environment?

    Have you checked the logs? (Vmkernel/vmkwarning) 

    Which versión are you using? 

    Aré your drivers and firmware up to date?

    -Bare Metal
    -Checked logs nothing stands out
    -Latest build of ESXi 6.517097218. vCenter is latest too 33200
    -Appears to be

    I can do it all by CLI and nothing by UI. Obviously I want it to work by UI or at least have an explanation

    Are you using an admin accoutn?
    Do you have any pending tasks?


    Last but not least:
    Have you tried a reboot?, that might do the trick.
