Radhika,
I did answer as many questions as I could on 18th April.
Since then I have been waiting for feedback over the answers provided to
following questions. Please do provide inputs.

>do we have to note down any parameters, that could be later used in
CloudStack ? Please confirm.
User might want to specify name of dvSwitch in following places,
1) traffic label in physical network page of zone configuration wizard -
This setting dictates name of vSwitch/dvSwitch to be used for virtual network
orchestration later.
2) public/guest virtual switch na,e - This setting overrides the
vSwitch/dvSwitch name in zone level configuration setting for traffic label.
See (1) above.
>Is deleting/creating/modifying dvPortGroup similar to deleting dvSwitch ?
Could you please clarify.
No.
>All the host/cluster resources should be added to dvSwitch before adding
the cluster to CloudStack's pod cluster. (it is not clear this step need to be
done on vCenter or CloudStack). It is very difficult to document such a complex
feature without a setup.
This step is to be done on vCenter. Its part of dvSwitch deployment & out
of CloudStack's scope.
Complete documentation of feature like this should be done after with a
setup. Otherwise, first draft can be made with content from FS & improve the
document once setup is available or handover the documentation task to
interested people with setup. Content in FS is good enough to start with
because FS contains all key details which are implemented in the feature.
>(what is the specific number here ?)
It's fixed number of dvports which is any where from 1 to maximum number of
dvports allowed by a dvportgroup.
>(Is this a limitation? should it be mentioned?)
No.
>Question: From where do you pick up/ specify a name for the traffic ? Is
this something that we get from vCenter setup ? Or are we saying to mention
what type of switch to be used ?
Its name of dvSwitch. Can be observed in vCenter setup.
Yes, good to follow terminology from
