Hi Sateesh, As we increase the cluster size, I wonder not having the management network on DVS might be an issue. I would strongly suggest we consider this. I also spoke to some folks who are more knowledgeable with customer implementations and they also say this would be an issue.
As you know, we have a separate feature being discussed - support for PVLAN - so, PVLAN support via DVS is a must-have requirement..

During discuss thread over the FS (in 72 hours time frame), there were no comments over this point. Hence the implementation has assumed a 'No' and excluded management network traffic over dvSwitch. I think enterprises prefer to leave management traffic over standard vSwitch which is added by default during vSphere installation. Would like to hear if otherwise? We can extend the support. > Comment "CloudStack doesn't do following: Configuration of PVLAN " - > isn't this an issue for support PVLAN? Current implantation just configures VLAN over a dv port group (virtual network). Virtual network orchestration over VMware resource is looking only for untagged or tagged isolated VLAN networks. Kindly let me know If there is any requirement for PVLAN enabled networks. The current implementation can be definitely extended to support it.
