Migrating iSCSI VMK from vss to vds

I am migrating standard switches to distributed switches in my lab and would like to know how to migrate the iSCSI vmk from the vSS to the vDS.  I have read through some articles and some vmware docs but haven't been able to find any useful info.  I have moved my management, vm and vmotion portgroups\vmks fine.  When I attempt to migrate the iSCSI vmk to the vDS portgroup via the Add Host wizard, I receive the following message saying that the vmk is still bound to the iscsi adapter. 

"  This operation cannot be done while the vmkernel network adapter vmk2 is being used by iSCSI adapter.  Remove the VMKernel network adapter
from the iSCSI adapter to successfully complete this operation. "

 

 

Do I really need to unbind the kernel from the iSCSI adapter?  Do I need to do this manually somehow?  If this is the case, what are the general steps to getting the iscsi vmk migrated successfully?

 

One other question....  I have been reading that it is not a good idea to have vCenter virtualized and using vDS and in fact Vmware does not support it.  Even though it is a waste of nics, should vCenter have it's own vss's?

 

Thanks!
