asavener makes a very good point if your DB server is on another server you just need to do a fresh install and point to the old DB.
On another note, was the vcenter server physical or virtual?

Reusing the DB server is what saved the dvswitch configuration. Always backup your DB!

The hosts should still have their original configuration, though, so they will continue to pass traffic and existing VMs will continue to run. You won't be able to move machines between hosts, or change guest network configurations.
To fix this, you will need to create a new DV switch, add a host to it, reconfigure your VLANS, etc. Then migrate some guests onto the that host and move on to the next host. Rinse and repeat until all of the hosts are on the new DV switch.
