I have no VC for a remote farm, so I set up the new VLAN through command line, and it shows up with command line, but not in the Web GUI. Am I missing some kind of refresh command ?
Are there any additional steps if I edit the .vmtx file directly ?
ESX 3.0.1
esxcfg-vswitch --add-pg="VLAN_400_LAN" vSwitch2
esxcfg-vswitch -v 400 -p VLAN_400_LAN vSwitch2
esxcfg-vswitch -l

You can use vimsh to refresh:
ESX 3.5
vmware-vim-cmd hostsvc/net/refresh
ESX 3.0
vimsh -n -e "hostsvc/net/refresh"
