what are you trying to do exactly, you want to remove 2 nic and add them to another switch?

Remove them from vs0 via prism element. Yes this will trigger a reboot. When reboot is done you can add the interfaces to a new virtual switch. Yes that will also trigger a reboot.

in Nutanix, when you remove the NIC, it will automatically reboot each node and remove it for you.
did you try removing it from Prism element ?what was the result for it ?
