To move port profile types in a port profile, you tear down the existing port channel then recreate the port
channel.

Place the host in maintenance mode.
Step 2
Do one of the following:
•
If distributed resource scheduling (DRS) is enabled, make sure to wait until the virtual machines are
migrated to other host(s).
•
Otherwise, manually migrate the virtual machines.
Step 3
When all the virtual machines are successfully migrated, from the Cisco Nexus 1000V CLI, create a new
Ethernet type port profile for the uplink ports on this host.
•
Enter one of the following commands:
◦
channel-group auto mode active | passive
◦
channel-group auto mode on mac-pinning
•
Perform a CLI override on the existing port channels.
