vmnic order changed when upgrading from B200 M5 servers from B200 M3

[larryschroeder]

I am installing a new chassis and blades. I cloned the existing service profiles for the new blades. When installing ESXi 6.7, I noticed that the vmnic order has changed. The first four vmnics are labeled as MLOM but are listed last. If the MLOM ports were first, the order would be correct. IS there a way to change this?

THis is how the new blades are showing up.

Here is from a different site with the same hardware. What is strange is the labeling is a little different.

The old M3 servers don't show any MLOM ports...

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Larry

Thanks for the info. I modified your scrip to fit my environment, but it did not work. It appears that VMware wants to put the MLOM adapters lower in the list no matter what. It looks like I am going to have to accept the order VMware puts it in.
