Current Setup:
4 Phyical Nics - 3 assigned to Vswitch
1 - Service Console
1 - Virtual Machine Network
1 - ISCI trying to assign vmotion to a new Vswitch which is assigned to the other spare Nic
When I try to setup vmotion i get the following error Error during the configuration of the host: SysinfoException: NodeID(17); Status(195887109)=Already exists; Message= Unable to set
This will also happen if I have vmotion setup then try to create a new Vswitch and assign the portgroup for ISCI. We have 3 esx servers and its happening w/ all of them. It is only happening when I have the ISCI setup. I am aware that ISCSI and Vmotion are both considered vmkernel portgroups and you can only have 1 vmkernel portgroup per virtual switch. It looks as though it thinks its creating it on the same Vswitch where ISCI is setup?

Tried to: Created a new Vswitch saved it then tried to assign the port group to it and still getting the same error message. I am able to assign just a VM portgroup to it though. ex VM Portgoup. example Switch Name Num Ports Used Ports Configured Ports Uplinks vswitch3 64 2 64 vmnic2 PortGroup Name Internal ID VLAN ID Used Ports Uplinks test portgroup23 0 0 vmnic2
