The vmservice-vswitch cannot be replaced with a new vDS, because the existing virtual switch is directly hooked to two NICs connected to the vmkernel. Changing the vmservice-vswitch into a vDS will prevent Deep Security from scanning.

However, the first network adapter for the management of DSVA can be migrated to vDS. For more information, contact VMware.
