Changing NICs in virtual servers
-
Sanity check. Does this make sense? We are changing from e1000e virtual nics to vmxnet3 nics to go from 1 Gbps to 10 Gbps in throughput.

Looks right. Would have to test. but looks right.

Here is the actual code in a more searchable context, sterilized for general use.
#Connects to the vCenter Server #Connect-VIServer -Server <vcenter> #Gathers nic information $nicTel1 = Get-NetworkAdapter -VM vmTel1 $nicTI1 = Get-NetworkAdapter -VM vmTI1 $nicTI2 = Get-NetworkAdapter -VM vmTI2 $nicTS1 = Get-NetworkAdapter -VM vmTS1 $nicSQL1 = Get-NetworkAdapter -VM vmSQL1 $nicSQL2 = Get-NetworkAdapter -VM vmSQL2 #Removes old e1000e network adapters Remove-NetworkAdapter -NetworkAdapter $nicTel1 Remove-NetworkAdapter -NetworkAdapter $nicTI1 Remove-NetworkAdapter -NetworkAdapter $nicTI2 Remove-NetworkAdapter -NetworkAdapter $nicTS1 Remove-NetworkAdapter -NetworkAdapter $nicSQL1 Remove-NetworkAdapter -NetworkAdapter $nicSQL2 #Creates new network vmxnet3 adapters New-NetworkAdapter -NetworkName "VM Network" -StartConnected:$true -Type Vmxnet3 -VM vmTel1 New-NetworkAdapter -NetworkName "VM Network" -StartConnected:$true -Type Vmxnet3 -VM vmTI1 New-NetworkAdapter -NetworkName "VM Network" -StartConnected:$true -Type Vmxnet3 -VM vmTI2 New-NetworkAdapter -NetworkName "VM Network" -StartConnected:$true -Type Vmxnet3 -VM vmTS1 New-NetworkAdapter -NetworkName "VM Network" -StartConnected:$true -Type Vmxnet3 -VM vmSQL1 New-NetworkAdapter -NetworkName "VM Network" -StartConnected:$true -Type Vmxnet3 -VM vmSQL2 #Check the work Get-NetworkAdapter -VM vmTel1 Get-NetworkAdapter -VM vmTI1 Get-NetworkAdapter -VM vmTI2 Get-NetworkAdapter -VM vmTS1 Get-NetworkAdapter -VM vmSQL1 Get-NetworkAdapter -VM vmSQL2 #Disconnect from vCenter server Disconnect-VIServer -
