[ovs-discuss] Help- How to configure OVS on vsphere environment
Hi Team, I am looking to configure Open vSwitch (OVS) on the vSphere environment to replace vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS). Can someone help me find a reference wiki to guide me on how to configure OVS on ESXi hosts? Thank you in advance, Regards Eldhose Mathew, ___ discuss mailing list disc...@openvswitch.org https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-discuss
