Changes in vDS Port ID Require vMap Redeployment

If the vDS Port ID for a vNIC changes, any vMaps using the vNIC must be redeployed before their traffic begins to flow from network ports to tool ports again. Changes in a vNIC’s vDS Port ID can happen in the following situations:

■

A vNIC used by a GigaVUE-VM node is swapped from a vDS Port Group to a vSS Port Group and then back to a vDS Port Group. When the vNIC returns to the vDS Port Group, it will have a new vDS Port ID.

■

A vNIC used by a GigaVUE-VM node is deleted from a vDS Port Group and then added back to the vDS Port Group. When the vNIC is added back to the vDS Port Group, it will have a new vDS Port ID.
