VMWare and distributed vSwitch support

Would anyone know if VMWare's distributed vSwitch is supported or going to be support in CS 4.0 or later releases?

This is the only thing that holds us back from larger roll out.

Thanks
ilya

Vmware distributed vSwitch is not currently supported. Only Nexus 1000v.

I know that the Cisco Nexus 1000v is supported in 4.0.  I'm actually
not sure about the VMware distributed vSwitch though.  Others?

Kelvin,

Did the 1KV code not make it into CloudStack yet?

So native VmWare distributed vswitch is not supported, but if I pay a small truck of gold to Cisco and get Nexus line - it may work then. :)

At least now I know I need to avoid dvs in my setup. 

Thank you for your response,

The Cisco Nexus 1000v is a distributed switch that is a replacement for the VMWare dvSwitch. 
The Nexus is supported in CloudPlatform as well as ACS 4.0. The VMWare dvSwitch is supported in neither.

Sateesh

Tiny favor, when responding, please put my email address in 'to:' header. 

I usually filter all mail from cs-dev mailing list into a separate folder and read it later - because of the number of emails we get daily, there is a chance i may miss it. 

Or better yet, reach out to me directly via email.

Thanks
Ilya

I have already started working on this feature, integration of VMware DVS in CS. 
Currently functional specification draft is in progress. Would publish the specs by this weekend.

This is being targeted for CS 4.1.

RE: VMWare and distributed vSwitch support

Posted by "Musayev, Ilya" <im...@webmd.net>.
Last but not least - to understand the reason for not supporting dvs - is that something that is in low demand or just not on the roadmap? 

The reason for my previous comment, as you may know, dvs is now more or less a standard. We were hoping that ACS 4 would have dvs support and were putting off the larger CS deployment on-hold until dvs support would arrive (since some release notes mentioned dvs support with cisco) we just did not know that would be so exclusive.

Any feedback as to when or if CS is planning to support vmware native dvs - would be truly appreciated.

Thank you for making such a great product 

Regards
ilya

So native VmWare distributed vswitch is not supported, but if I pay a small truck of gold to Cisco and get Nexus line - it may work then. :)

At least now I know I need to avoid dvs in my setup. 

Thank you for your response,

The Cisco Nexus 1000v is a distributed switch that is a replacement for the VMWare dvSwitch. 
The Nexus is supported in CloudPlatform as well as ACS 4.0. The VMWare dvSwitch is supported in neither.

Yes, this means that Nexus 1000v distributed vSwitch is supported. But not
the Vmware dvSwitch though.

Kelven,

AFAIK, every feature in CloudPlatform has been put into 4.0, except for auto-scaling.  Does this mean 4.0 supports distributed vSwitch?
