Changing the vmservice-vswitch into a virtual Distributed Switch (vDS) in Deep Security

- Updated:
- 24 Nov 2016
- Product/Version:
- Deep Security 9.6
- Platform:
- VMware ESX 4.1
- VMware ESX 5.0
- VMware ESXi 4.1
- VMware ESXi 5.0
- VMware vCenter 5.0

Summary

Find out if it is possible to create a new vmservice-vswitch as a vDS, and then remove the existing vmservice-vswitch in the Deep Security Virtual Appliance (DSVA).

Details

The vmservice-vswitch cannot be replaced with a new vDS, because the existing virtual switch is directly hooked to two NICs connected to the vmkernel. Changing the vmservice-vswitch into a vDS will prevent Deep Security from scanning.

However, the first network adapter for the management of DSVA can be migrated to vDS. For more information, contact VMware.
