Delete a Distributed Port Group

Before you begin

  • You cannot delete the default distributed port group.
  • You cannot delete a distributed port group if it is referenced by a VM memory snapshot.
  • You cannot delete a distributed port group if it is associated with a Kernel adapter.

Procedure

  1. In the navigation pane, choose Inventory > Network Resource.
  2. In the resource tree, select the target distributed port group.
  3. On the target distributed port group details page, click Actions > Delete.
    Note: Deleting a distributed port group detaches the VM NICs that are using this port group. Proceed with caution.
  4. After acknowledging the risk, click OK.
