Hi Dennis - the IBM chocolate two virtual switch controllers can control many vswitches.
I've never come across a practical limit.  I can't see any benefit to doing this.
I have systems with upwards of ten - twelve virtual switches.

We have a few systems here with two virtual switches and two virtual
switch controller TCP/IP stacks (DTCVSW1 and DTCVSW2). One of my
co-workers has suggested that we create DTCVSW3 and DTCVSW4, so each
virtual switch can have two dedicated controllers. Is there any reason
to do this? It seems like a waste of effort and virtual storage to me.
