Create a Standard Switch with 2 dedicated uplinks on each ESXi host. In a DR or Restore situation, you can then use the Ephemeral Port Group for recovery.ģ. Create an Ephemeral Port Group for recovery on your Distributed switch, and configure it with the same VLAN vCenter normally uses. Use affinity rules to pin vCenter to known hosts (eg Hosts #1 #2 and #3) then you always know where to find it.Ģ. What the error actually means is that vCenter cannot be assigned a port on the Distributed Switch as vCenter itself needs to be running in order to manage the assignment (Hence Chicken and Egg 101). This is a quick 20 minute solution but if you don’t know it, you can spend hours trying to get your Vcentre on the correct VLAN again.
