I'm not sure if there is official documentation. But I did a similar migration (from vDS to vSS) and I can confirm that you will lose connectivity when you move one vmnic from one switch to another without preparation. I did a similar migration (from vDS to vSS) and followed these steps:
- Shut vmnic0 in the port-channel to force traffic to vmnic1 (on the physical switch)
- Remove vmnic0 from the port-channel and add it to a temporary port-channel
- Remove vmnic0 from the vDS and add it to the vSS
- No-shut vmnic0 (now you should have connectivity on the vSS)
- Migrate vmkernel from vDS to vSS
- Migrate VMs from vDS to vSS
- Remove vmnic1 from the vDS and add it to the vSS
- Move vmnic0 to the previous port-channel (on the physical switch)
I think these steps can also be used when you want to migrate a vSS to vDS.
