Description

I want to move uplink from standard switch to dvs. This is failing because i have a vmkernel for that nic. So, i wanted to change uplink and assign the port groups(vmkernel) to distributed port group at the same time. This can be done using gui. But is there any way we can do it using a script/cli.

I saw similar issue here, but couldn't find a solution. https://github.com/vmware/pyvmomi-community-samples/issues/119

Research direction
Investigate existing pyVmomi samples for DVS operations, particularly the referenced issue #119. Determine feasibility of adding a host with a busy NIC to a VDS via script. Explore the vSphere API for moving uplinks and reassigning vmkernel port groups. Provide a sample script or documentation if possible.
