Sure Ilya, I will re-submit the patches after rebasing with latest 4.1 Regards, Sateesh

This > enables orchestration of virtual networks in VMware environment over > distributed virtual switch inside vCenter. > > Background:- > > ----------------- > > VMware Distributed Switch is an aggregation of per-host virtual switches > presented and controlled as a single distributed switch through vCenter > Server at > the Datacenter level. vDS abstracts configuration of individual virtual > switches > and enables centralized provisioning, administration, and monitoring. > > vDS is integral component of vCenter. Hence the native vDS support makes > sense for wider and larger deployments of Cloudstack over vSphere. > > Each Standard vSwitch represents an independent point of configuration that > needs to be managed and monitored. The management of virtual networks > required by instances in the cloud is tedious when virtual networks have to > span > across large number of hosts. Using distributed vSwitch (vDS) simplifies the > configuration and monitoring. > > Being standalone implementations, standard vSwitches do not provide any > support for virtual machine mobility. So there needed a component to ensure > that the network configurations on the source and the destination virtual > switch > are consistent and will allow the VM to operate without breaking connectivity > or > network policies. Particularly during migration of VM across hosts, the sync > up > among peers need to be taken care. However in case of distributed vSwitch > during VMotion, the vCenter server, would update the vSwitch modules on the > hosts in cluster accordingly. > > Following features are available with a Distributed Switch over and above > Standard vSwitch of vSphere. > > 1. Shaping of inbound (RX) traffic > > 2. Supports a central unified management interface through vCenter > > Server 3. Supports Private VLANs (PVLANs) 4. Provides potential > > customization of Data and Control Planes 5. Increased visibility of > > inter-virtual machine traffic through Netflow 6. Improved monitoring > > through port mirroring (dvMirror) 7. Support for LLDP (Link Layer > > Discovery Protocol), a vendor-neutral protocol. > > Release Planning: > > Dev list discussions: > > http://markmail.org/message/eehzokoniwssrx5d > > http://markmail.org/message/ow7za62d3qmnjd2h > > Functional Spec: > > https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Integration+of+ > > CloudStack+with+VMware+DVS Feature branch: reviewboard submission > > -- > This message is automatically generated by JIRA. > If you think it was sent incorrectly, please contact your JIRA administrators > For > more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
