    Abstract: An example apparatus to migrate a physical server host from a virtual standard switch to a virtual distributed switch includes: a user input interface to receive a user-selection of first physical network interface cards of a first physical server host to migrate from the virtual standard switch to the virtual distributed switch; a configurator to generate a first migration plan to configure the virtual distributed switch using network configuration settings of the virtual standard switch corresponding to the first physical network interface cards; and a virtual distributed switch creator to, based on a user-selection to proceed with the migration from the virtual standard switch to the virtual distributed switch, create the virtual distributed switch in the first physical server host and a second physical server host, the configurator to configure the network configuration settings of the virtual standard switch in the virtual distributed switch.

    Abstract: Disclosed examples include determining that a user-approved migration plan satisfies a proposed migration plan, the proposed migration plan to configure a virtual distributed switch using network configuration settings of a virtual standard switch corresponding to first physical network interface cards, the user-approved migration plan based on a user-selection responsive to the proposed migration plan; creating the virtual distributed switch in a first host and a second host in response to the user-approved migration plan satisfying the proposed migration plan; and configuring the virtual distributed switch based on the network configuration settings of the virtual standard switch.
