This is a follow up to a post I had here earlier. We are actually in the process of testing our POC for this migration. We have a few hosts that we've installed 4.1 on, with a handful of VMs for testing. Our ultimate goal is to upgrade the host to 5.0, and then import it into our new vCenter with the VMs attached to avoid any downtime.
A colleague brought up a good point about the use of dvSwitches. While there are a handful of clusters using standard switches, the majority of our newer clusters are all using dvSwitches. Since dvSwitches aren't stored on the host, will we still be able to migrate these to 5.0 while avoiding VM downtime? Or will this plan require the use of standard switches only to succeed?
