I have a new vSphere 6.7 U2 environment.

I hvea two ESXi hosts in the vSphere environment.

The vCenter server is 6.7 U2.

I Create a Distributed Switch in the vSphere environment.

Then add ESXi hosts to the Distributed switch.

But, it's failed.

Hi,

Distributed switch requires Enterprise Plus license. Refer to below vSphere licensing and pricing white paper.

Are you sure that the hosts are running 6.7? Maybe the information icon reveals a cause...

Ah yes. You need an Enterprise Plus license in order to use a Distributed Switch...

Thanks.

Change to vSphere Enterprise Plus license is OK.
