Hi, I installed libvirt on CentOS 6 today, only to find I could create the volume, create the VM, but could not assign the interface to a distributed port group. I then downloaded the latest source, compiled, and it looks to be the same...unless its under a command I'm not recognizing? Does anybody have the great tip that is going to set me free? I hope? Everything we use is on the vSwitches, as we run 60-80 VLAN's to each cluster member. -- Thanks, Morgan

Hi, Distributed Port Groups come from the "vNetwork Distributed Switch" (vDS); a feature of VMware vCenter. You just can't throw a non-ESXi hypervisor into your vCenter datacenter and expect it to work with their proprietary technology. The same way you just can't throw an ESXi into oVirt (the open-source equivalent to vCenter) and expect it to have access to all the defined networks at the datacenter level (automatically). AFAIK, we're not there yet. I know VMware recently came out with their "vCenter Multi-Hypervisor Manager" but it only supports Hyper-V and I don't think it integrates with their vDS. > Everything we use is on the vSwitches, as we run 60-80 VLAN's to each > cluster member. You could use Linux as the hypervisor but you'll have to manually configure those VLANs and assign them to your VMs to be able to connect to the VMs running on your vCenter (assuming they'll be sharing the same layer-2 switch). Since obviously you're using vCenter, isn't it more easier to add another ESXi ?
