Hello ,<br />
<br />
I am moving VMs from 5.5 vCenter to 6.5 vCenter.<br />
<br />
I am unregistering the VMs from 5.5 and registering it again to 6.5. <br />
<br />
Everything is fine except that Network setting doesn't come with the VM. <br />
<br />
same port groups have been configured on the distributed switches configured on each vCenter.<br />
<br />
But I just noticed now that name of the distributed switch is not the same , all other configuration is same.<br />
<br />
is this be caused by this name mismatch of dvSwitch<br />

Registering VMs

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.

Virtualization

vSphere

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
