Migration existing Virtual Machine Port Group and VMKernel Ports to new switch in vSphere 6
1. Currently I have my "Virtual Machine Port Group" and "VMKernel Port" all set up on One Switch and this is creating a bottleneck.
In the vSphere (vCenter 6.0) Web Client How do I move over each Port Group and VMKernel Port to a separate new switch without affecting the existing configuration or network in a production environment. Each cluster has about 4 - 6 hosts.
2. Also, is there a way I can save my current vCenter Configuration (esp.the network settings) in case I want to revert back.

2. The point I am trying to make here is, after I create a new VMKernel Portgroup on a new switch, what should be the IP Address? I mean can I use the same IP Address I had used in the default switch OR should I use a new IP Address.
3. Thanks for the backup configuration link - I guess everything is using CLI but not thru Web Interface in vSphere 6.
