• In the /var/Log/hostd.log file, you see similar to:

<YYYY-MM-DD><HH:MM:SS> warning hostd[2124672] [Originator@6876 sub=Hostsvc.NetworkProvider opID=7bfbea5a-d3-1433 user=vpxuser:com.vmware.vsan.health] Error setting connectionId 50 36 fa f9 df 6c e3 ba-25 53 97 be a0 14 6a 19-898 : Unable to set DVPort prop com.vmware.common.port.connectid; Status(bad0003)= Not found 

Environment

VMware vSphere ESXi 6.5
VMware vSphere ESXi 5.5
VMware vSphere ESXi 6.7
VMware vSphere ESXi 6.0

Cause

This is caused by a race condition when a VMotion operation and a DVportgroup reconfigure are happening at the same time.

Resolution

Wait for about 5 minutes as the portgroup should be pushed to the host again and the error can be safely ignored.
