VMWare dvSwitch - import port groups to Cloudstack

Hello Community,

I have VMWare vCenter with number of VMs and Portgroups (dvSwitch).

I want to import all portgroups to cloudstack and used them for imported instances. Is it possible to import networks (portgroups) from vCenter to cloudstack?

I couldn't find any information related to importing networks from vCenter to cloudstack.

Thanks.

Best regards,

Jafar Aghabalayev

Hello, 

So I have recently imported 30+ VMs from vCenter to Cloudstack, I have created a L2 network with same VLAN where VMs were running on vCenter, So I deleted the NIC from VM from vCenter, import it to the cloudstack (If you have active NIC on the VM then while importing the VM it will look of the network which is there on the vCenter, so it’s better to delete the NIC and let cloudstack handle it completely )and then attach NIC from cloudstack, since I use the same VLAN, so there is no need to change the network configuration inside the VM.

That's correct, the networks need to be created in CloudStack first.

Hello Rohit,

Thank you for prompt response.

From the documentation and articles I found -  " It also requires CloudStack networks to be created for existing networks from vCenter. "

Am I correct understand that the only way is create networks from CloudStack UI and no way to import networks?

Appreciate your efforts.

Best Regards,

Jafar Aghabalayev
