      @Bob-Dig It is the VM from the same hypervisor - also on the same hypervisor, VMWare ESXi.
      I usually hoped for the best when doing such changes ๐Ÿ˜“
      Same with upgrades.

        @heper Yeap, this seems like the only way to do it.
        Thanks!

          Then you only have to create the exact same interfaces beforehand, should be doable.

            How many interfaces do you have already? How many are you adding?

            ESXi will reorder the NICs when you add more than 4.

                @stephenw10 It has more, 8 or 9, something like that.

                  Hmm, I forget if it reorders again at higher numbers. But not the usual limit people hit though.

                    @stephenw10 Uhhh, wait, you mentioned NICs, I thought on interfaces. sorry. It has VLANs and other interfaces, altogether it makes 8-9, but NICs, it has 2 I think.
                    My bad.
