  • 1.  VM still shows old network

    Posted Sep 21, 2011 07:18 AM

    Hi,

    we migrated our VMs to distributed switches some time ago. Now I wanted to clean up prior to the vSphere update and found that some VMs should still be connected to the old "VM Network". Checking the machines I found the same on each of them. Every machine has one vNIC connected to the distributed switch. Still in the Summary shows 2 connections one to "VM Network" and one to the dvSwitch.

    I tried changing the port group but as soon as I select anything other than "VM Network" it show 2 connections.

    In the vmx-file there is no reference to "VM Network", unregistering and reregistering the machine did not help either.

    Any idea what can be done?

    Thanks

    Christian

    No, I did not find anything new or got any feedback.

    But as all these VMs will be going away soon anyhow I did not push this or open a ticket with vmware.

    I found the solution.

    It was due to the snapshot that were for that VM requiring the old network connection. Once I removed the old snapshots the additional old network also disappeared.

    Tim,

    that's it!

    All these VMs have snapshots from when they were connected to the old network.

    Thanks.
