I have 4 hosts in a cluster and I want to make some changes to the two logical switches I have applied to all 4 of them.
First I will complete these steps, which I assume (on their own) will have no direct consequences for the hosts or the vm's:
- Add a Logical network / network site to one of the involved uplink port profiles.
- On the logical switch that uses this port profile: Mark the new virtual network adapter as "used for host management"
- Delete the other logical switch entirely
Then I need to make a change on the "Virtual Switches" tabin VMM for each of the 4 hosts:
- Remove the Logical Switch (which was just deleted from VMM) from the list of virtual switches for the hosts. Maybe this will already be gone when I open the host Properties?
- Ensure that the correct IP address has been chosen for the newly added logical network for each host.
Question: When will the changes actually be applied to a host?
After my steps 1-2-3? I think not.
After I have completed my two bullets for a host and closed the VMM Host Properties window?
Or do I have to do something like this:
Get-SCVirtualMachine|Get-SCVirtualNetworkAdapter|where-object {$_.VirtualNetworkAdapterComplianceStatus-ne"Compliant"}|Repair-SCVirtualNetworkAdapter-RunAsynchronously ?
The changes I am making will interfere with the network connection between the hosts and VMM. Today this connection is via the logical switch that I am deleting and after the changes are complete (with the added logical network on the other logical switch), the connection will be via the remaining logical switch.
Will this prevent me from applying the changes from VMM? If so, is there a way out of such a catch-22?
The hosts are a Windows Server 2016 Storage Spaces Direct cluster. VMM is 2019.
