govc-dvs-create

Migrate virtual NIC (vmk) from Standard vSwitch to Distributed vSwitch

This task will create Distributed Virtual Switches in a vCenter service. It uses the esxi/dvs-mappings Param to define which DVSs and (optionally) portgroups to create, along with the configuration values for the DVS and Portgroups.

Please review the Param documentation for esxi/dvs-mappings for structure and usage examples.

In addition to esxi/dvs-mappings configuration values for each of the DVS and Portgroups, you must also add the esxi/dvs-memberships Param, which is an array of strings. Each string should be the name of a Distributed Virtual Switch to create on the vSphere ESXi node.

Typically the esxi/dvs-memberships Param will be added to a machine via classification rules.
