Hi,

after initial installation of an ESXi host I need to migrate the vmk0 interface (with the management address) from vSwitch0 to dVS dvs.test01, but the vmware\_migrate\_vmk module failed with “vim.fault.ResourceNotAvailable”.  
The vCenter shows the following error: “The Ressource DistributedVirtualPort is not available in DistributedVirtualPortgroup dvs.test01-DVUplinks-41.”  
A manual migration via vCenter UI works as expected.  
Has anyone a hint about what is wrong?

Here are some facts, which might help to get an overview:
