Chris, As it stands, CS 4.0 and 4.1 - do not yet support VmWare DVS. The 4.2 which is master branch has a support for it, but since 4.2 is a development branch - its not considered stable. The version 4.1 is to be released early next months - pending all major issues have been resolved.
Since my employer needed a support for DVS rather urgently, I went ahead and backported the DVS support in to 4.1 branch - which is supposed to be out soon. I'm running it now in my environment and can confirm it works as expected. Limitation: The current DVS code does not support "Management Network" and Storage on DVS those have to remain on Standard Virtual Switch at the moment - this feature will come a bit later with 4.2 release. In my opinion, it is not the big deal since VSphere is deployed with vSwtich0 for management by default. However other guest VMs that are on DVS will functional as expected. At the moment, we only support 1 DVswitch for Guest Traffic and 1 DVswitch for Public Traffic Type. As of now you have 3 options: 1) Don't use DVswitch, and use regular non distributed vSwitch'es - probably good enough for small POC 2) Wait for 4.2 release - which will be out in about 6 months give or take 3) I have 4.1 functional with DVS. I'm going to release a hybrid version of CS 4.1 and 4.2 - which has vmware dvs support along with some other features - I deemed as urgently useful. This hybrid is my separate spin project to be posted on www.cloudsand.com This version should be upgradable to 4.2. If interested, let me know and will try to release it sooner than later. Also, it appears you need to use Advanced Network Setup - as you have quite a few switches. I've posted a guide on CloudStack WIKI that shows you how to make use of it. https://cwiki.apache.org/CLOUDSTACK/cloudstack-advanced-network-tutorial-step-by-step.html Let me know which route you'd like to take, Regards ilya > -----Original Message----- > From: Chris Smith [mailto:christopher.sm...@infotechfl.com] > Sent: Thursday, March 21, 2013 2:02 PM > To: users@cloudstack.apache.org > Subject: Re: Problem installing VMware Cluster in CloudStack 4.0.1 > > We are using distributed switches. > > They are named "10GB", "Management", and "vmNetworks". > > Our portgroup names are: > > 10GB - > -dvSwitch1 (Uplink Port Group) > -Storage (Distributed port group) > -vMotion (Distributed port group) > > Management - > -dvSwitch3 > -management > > vmNetworks - > -dvSwitch4 > -dvPortGroup2 > -dvPortGroup3 > -dvPortGroup4 > > Also, the page at "https://<vSphere_IP>/Datacenter_Name/Cluster" is > blank.
