<para>To make a &PRODUCT; deployment VDS enabled, set the vmware.use.dvswitch parameter to true
|

by using the Global Settings page in the &PRODUCT; UI and restart the Management Server.
|

Unless you enable the vmware.use.dvswitch parameter, you cannot see any UI options specific to
|
||||
VDS, and &PRODUCT; ignores the VDS-specific parameters given in the AddClusterCmd API call.
|
||||
Additionally, &PRODUCT; uses VDS for virtual network infrastructure if the value of

vmware.use.dvswitch parameter is true and the value of vmware.use.nexus.dvswitch parameter is

false.</para>

global parameter that defines VDS configuration is vmware.ports.per.dvportgroup. This is the

default number of ports per VMware dvPortGroup in a VMware environment. This number directly

associated with the number of guest network you can create.</para>
