Sateesh and Pranav Any luck on the GUI part of this patch? I recall it was mentioned to be a separate patch.

The only reason I mentioned 4.1, is due to the fact that it's more stable ATM and testing/Qa on my side would be more accurate - as I would know for sure why X operation fails. With master, there could be other components that need fixing before I get to test this patch. Either way, network/vmware code has not changed much as of yet between 4.1 and master - so technically I can get it working on both. And it's the right thing to do to rebase against master. Looking forward to new patch set.

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.
