The dpmvc distributedswitch command lets you manage virtual distributed switches.
The command has the following formats:
dpmvc-distributedswitch {-vds_add | -vds_update}
-vc_server vcservername
-datacenter_name datacentername
-vds_folder vdsfolder
-switch_name switchname
[-hostnics hostname1:nic1,nic2,…nicn [;hostname2:nic2,…nicn >]*]
[-uplink_port_names uplink1[,uplink2,…,uplinkn]]
[-maxports maxports]
dpmvc-distributedswitch -vds_remove -vc_server vcservername -switch_name switchname
dpmvc-distributedswitch -add_portgroup -vc_server vcservername -switch_name switchname -portgroup_name portgroupname [-bindtype earlyBinding | ephemeral | lateBinding] [-vlan vlanID] [-numports numberofports]
dpmvc-distributedswitch -update_portgroup -vc_server vcservername -portgroup_name portgroupname [-portgroup_newname portgroupnewname] [-bindtype earlyBinding | ephemeral | lateBinding] [-vlan vlanID] [-numports numberofports]
dpmvc-distributedswitch -remove_portgroup -vc_server vcservername -portgroup_name portgroupname
dpmvc-distributedswitch -rename_portgroup -vc_server vcservername -portgroup_name portgroupname -portgroup_newname portgroupnewname
Specifies the vCenter Server to access when you have multiple vCenter Servers. Optional for single vCenter Server environments.
Specifies the datacenter to which the virtual distributed switch belongs.
Specifies the folder of the virtual distributed switch in the CA Server Automation Explorer pane.
Specifies the switch name to perform the operation on.
(Optional) Specifies lists of NICs associated with the ESX host members.
(Optional) Specifies a comma-separated list of uplink port names to use.
(Optional) Specifies the maximum number of ports for the switch. This number limits the total number of ports (numports) from all of the portgroups on the switch.
(Optional) Specifies the bind type of the port group. Valid values are:
Assigns the ports when the VM binds to the portgroup. This type of binding ensures connectivity at all times, but permanently reserves the port. This binding type is the default.
Assigns a port to a VM if the VM is powered on and its NIC is in connected state. This binding type reassigns the port when the VM is powered off or its NIC is disconnected. LateBinding is configurable through vCenter.
Assigns a port to a VM if the VM is powered on and its NIC is in connected state. This binding type reassigns the port when the VM is powered off or its NIC is disconnected. Ephemeral binding is configurable through the ESX Host and vCenter.
(Optional) Specifies the number of ports of the port group.
Specifies the port group name.
Specifies the new port group name.
(Optional) Specifies an Integer value (vlan ID) used for the virtual portgroup operations.
Example: Create a New Virtual Distributed Switch
This example creates a new virtual distributed switch.
dpmvc-distributedswitch -vds_add -vc_server vc5master -datacenter_name dc3 -vds_folder vds -switch_name vdswitch1
Example: Updates an Existing Virtual Distributed Switch
This example updates a virtual distributed switch. It specifies NICs for MYSERVER1, and removes MYSERVER2 from the virtual distributed switch. When you want to delete a host from a virtual distributed switch, specify the servername without NICs assigned to it (server name followed by colon, for example, MYSERVER2:).
dpmvc-distributedswitch -vds_update -vc_server VAS-VC5 -datacenter_name VC5 -switch_name vdistSwitch -hostnics MYSERVER1:nxmgt2,tmp2;MYSERVER2:
The command updates vdistSwitch:
