FS states: Explain performance & scalability implications when feature is used from small scale to large scale In case of vSphere 4.1 dvPortGroup need to be created with specific number of dvPorts. In large scale deployment optimum use of dvPorts may not be possible due to this pre-allocation. In case of vSphere 5.0 the autoexpand feature helps in auto increment of number of dvPorts. (what is the specific number here ?) Network switches (including the vSwitch in ESXi host) keep a distinct forwarding table for each VLAN; this could lead to an increased overhead in packet forwarding when a considerable number of isolated networks, each one with a significant number of virtual machines, is configured in a data center. (Is this a limitation? should it be mentioned?) please clarify - Radhika ----------------------------------------------------------- This is an automatically generated e-mail.
