  • 1.  Can I add a vm to a dvswitch without using vcentre?

    Posted Mar 26, 2011 03:48 PM

    Afternoon,

    Our vcentre isnt configured to manage the dvswitches on the host - bit of a long story.

    Until it does, can we use command line to add a vm to a dvswitch?

    If so, can someone help me out with that?

    Thanks

    Martin

    I'm not aware of any method to change a VM's networking over to a vDS without vCenter. I did find a link to an older communities question that seems very similar to yours, hopefully it helps.

    vCenter is required to setup and manage a distributed switch.
