Delete a Distributed Switch

  • You cannot delete the default distributed switch while it still has joined hosts.
  • You cannot delete a distributed switch if distributed pot groups in the distributed switch are referenced by a VM memory snapshot.
  • You cannot delete a distributed switch if distributed port groups in the distributed switch are associated with Kernel adapters.
  1. In the navigation pane, choose Inventory > Network Resource.

  2. In the resource tree, select a target distributed switch.

  3. On the target distributed switch's details page, click Actions > Delete.

    Deleting a distributed switch deletes all its distributed port groups and detaches associated VM NICs. Proceed with caution.
