I have taken a look at the KB (2033990) and read a few blogs about the migration from the vCenter Server Appliance from 5.0 to 5.1. It looks pretty straight forward, but I cannot seem to find any information about what will happen to my 1000v during that migration. I know that the 1000v is registered with the existing 5.0 vcenter and that after the upgrade the 5.1 host will assume the "network identity" of the old 5.0 box. I assume that to mean hostname, and IP address. Does anyone know if the 1000v will just hum along none-the-wiser, or do I need to do something like this: VMware KB: Migrating to a new vCenter Server with the Cisco Nexus 1000v vDS . Essentially migrate all of the vmNics to standard switches, disassociate the 1000v, upgrade vcenter, associate the 1000v, migrate all connections.
Thanks!
