Distributed Virtual Portgroup Reconfigure DV Portgroup Task

Reconfigures one or more distributed virtual portgroups.

You can use this method to set portgroup properties or to reset the portgroup to a previous state.

Reconfiguring a Standard Distributed Virtual Portgroup

To reconfigure a DistributedVirtualPortgroup, use a DVPortgroupConfigSpec to set the portgroup properties.

Reconfiguring a Portgroup Associated With a VMware Distributed Virtual Switch

If you use a VmwareDistributedVirtualSwitch, you can perform the following portgroup reconfiguration:

Use a DVPortgroupConfigSpec to set the portgroup properties.
Use the DVPortgroupConfigSpec returned by DVPortgroupRollback_Task to reset the portgroup to a previous state.

The following privileges are required to reconfigure a portgroup.

DVPortgroup.PolicyOp if you are changing the policy of the portgroup.
DVPortgroup.ScopeOp if you are changing the scope of the portgroup.
DVPortgroup.Modify for anything else.
