Adding new ESXi servers to the VCenter with dvSwitch
Hi folks,
What specific steps do I need to do or be aware when adding new ESXi servers to the existing HA cluster and VCenter that is already configured with Distributed Virtual switch ?
I've never done this before and wondering if the Network Label and VLAN is automatically configured when te ESXi joined the cluster or VCenter?

Add it in with a standard switch, then goto the dbswitch and migrate it with the wizard.

Would that be automatic or involves manual steps and putting in all of the VLAN data ?
