}
boolean
networkResourceManagementSupported
Required

Deprecated as of vSphere API 5.0, use networkResourceManagementCapability.DVSNetworkResourceManagementCapability.networkResourceManagementSupported.

Indicates whether network I/O control is supported on the vSphere Distributed Switch.

boolean
vmDirectPathGen2Supported
Optional

Deprecated as of vSphere API 8.0. VMDirectPath Gen 2 is no longer supported and there is no replacement.

Indicates whether VMDirectPath Gen 2 is supported on the distributed virtual switch.

See HostCapability.HostCapability.vmDirectPathGen2Supported and PhysicalNic.PhysicalNic.vmDirectPathGen2Supported.

For a third-party distributed switch implementation, you can specify this property during switch creation or when you call the DistributedVirtualSwitch.UpdateDvsCapability method.

VMDirectPath Gen 2 is supported in vSphere Distributed Switch Version 4.1 or later.

array of string
nicTeamingPolicy
Optional

The available teaming modes for the vSphere Distributed Switch.

The value can be one or more of DistributedVirtualSwitchNicTeamingPolicyModeEnum.

integer As int32 As int32
networkResourcePoolHighShareValue
Optional

Deprecated as of vSphere API 5.0, use networkResourceManagementCapability.DVSNetworkResourceManagementCapability.networkResourcePoolHighShareValue.

This is the value for high in DVSNetworkResourcePoolAllocationInfo.shares.

This implicitly defines the legal range of share values to be between 1 and this. This also defines values for other level types, such as normal being one half of this value and low being one fourth of this value.

DVSNetworkResourceManagementCapability
networkResourceManagementCapability
Optional

Dataobject representing the feature capabilities of network resource management supported by the vSphere Distributed Switch.

DVSHealthCheckCapability
healthCheckCapability
Optional

Health check capabilities of health check supported by the vSphere Distributed Switch

DVSRollbackCapability
rollbackCapability
Optional

The DVSRollbackCapability data object describes the rollback capabilities for a DistributedVirtualSwitch.

DVSBackupRestoreCapability
backupRestoreCapability
Optional

The DVSBackupRestoreCapability data object describes backup, restore, and rollback capabilities for distributed virtual switches and distributed virtual portgroups.

Backup and restore capabilities are indicated for DistributedVirtualSwitch. Rollback capability is indicated for DistributedVirtualSwitch and DistributedVirtualPortgroup.

boolean
networkFilterSupported
Optional

Indicates whether Network Filter feature is supported in vSphere Distributed Switch.

boolean
macLearningSupported
Optional

Indicates whether MAC learning feature is supported in vSphere Distributed Switch.
