HP OneView for VMware vCenter - Manual (Page 36)

Manage networking
Setting host network configuration preferences
NOTE: This feature is available only on the vSphere Web Client.
These settings are used to evaluate the network configuration of a host with respect to its Virtual
Connect/OneView profile. This page is accessed by selecting Host Network Configuration
Preferences in the left pane of the HP Insight Management Administration page. After setting the
preferences, click Save or Clear to reset all the selections to the default values.
The host network configuration preferences are organized into the following categories.
vSwitch Preferences
The vSwitch Preference determines how Insight Control for VMware vCenter will configure virtual
networking to match the networking configured in HP Virtual Connect.
•
Default vSwitch type used for Host: Select the type of vSwitch that will be used to configure
the virtual networking to match the networking configured in HP Virtual Connect.
•
VDS Spec Version: If the default switch type selected is the vSphere Distributed Switch, select
the version used when creating Distributed vSwitches.
NOTE: If your environment has different vSphere 5.x/ESXi 5.x versions and you intend to use
the vSphere Distributed Switch for host network configuration, ensure that the correct vSphere
Distributed Switch version is configured so that host network configuration uses this switch version
across all hosts in your environment.
It is recommended that the lowest vSphere Distributed Switch version (corresponding to the lowest
vSphere 5.x/ESXi 5.x version in your environment) is configured so that host network configuration
can use this switch version across all hosts in your environment.
