Hi,
We are moving host from one vSphere vCenter to another by doing v2v conversions. However now we have identified an issue.
This is based on our initial checks, this might be incomplete or not accurate.
However what we have seen, after migrating a few VMs is that VXNET 3 adapters stick after moving them to the new vCenter (Windows Server 2003 and 2008 R2 VMs), i.e.. the IP address config stays the same.
E1000 adapters are however identified as new ones, meaning the old one will be hidden and the new one will loose all IP config data.
Does anyone know if this is expected behaviour?
VMWare converter is the latest.
All hosts runs VMWare 5.5 (U2)
vSphere is not on the same release on both sides
VMWare tools might have inconsistency (as its difficult to update VMWare tools on critical VMs)
