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?

And what about the vmfs data store ?
Would they be automatically detected ?

I got existing VMFS LUNsconfigured on the SAN already.
so I should not recreate new.

do I just rescan the VMFS automatically ?
Yes.
Aaron, yes please, i need some help in configuring the dvSwitch part. if it is just normal vSwitch, I know how to manually
add the new ESXi host to the VCenter and joining it to the cluster.

I just don't know how to do it with dvSwitch in my new environment
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 ?
