Migrate VMNICs from vDS to vSS with ESXCLI (No vCenter)

Recently, I had to migrate my VMNIC bindings from my Distributed Switches to my Standard Switches. Since my vCenter instance was being restored from backup (Failed 7.0 Update), I had to revert back to the ESXCLI.

Step 1: Validate Current vDS Switch Settings

esxcli network vSwitch dvs vmware list

Step 2: Remove NIC from vDS

esxcfg-vswitch -Q vmnic_Name -V PortID_of_dvSwitch dvSwitch_Name

Step 3: Verify VMNIC was removed from vDS

esxcli network vSwitch dvs vmware list

Step 4: Add VMNIC to vSS Switch (Can also be done by GUI but that is no fun)

esxcli network vSwitch standard uplink add --uplink-name=vmnic_Name --vswitch-name=vSS_Switch_Name
