Those are nice questions. I have to test those to be able to anser them. If you want I can do that when I have some spare time. 😉

If you only have 2 nics you cant do this.

what does it look like in Prism Element after the multicluster VS is created?
what happens to this switch if PC is lost or if a cluster is removed from PC?
if I only have 2 NICs can remove one from an existing VS on each cluster to create the MCVS and then move VMs over and then walk the other NIC over? similar to how you migrate a standard VS in vSphere to DVS?

Creating the virtual switch will require extra physical uplinks. Switching the workloads to the new virtual switch can be done while running. A ping can de lossed but with tcp and udp this should not be a problem. Some applications dont like it though 😉
