Adding port groups to VDS post deployment?

[dsloth]

After deploying the management workload domain, is it OK to manually add additional custom port-groups to the VDS?

If so, is there any impact to the SDDC manager workflows going forward if these customizations are made?

On non-management workload domains, I have the same question, but I'm also interested in NSX-T overlay backed segments for these workload domains.

What would the impact be here?

Thanks.

I don't see any reason why you cannot add additional custom portgroups. I reccomend not changing the default portgroups that have been created during the bring-up.

So you don't think that adding custom port-groups post-deployment will affect any of the SDDC manager workflows?  We wouldn't touch any of the core networking that's created by automation, just add to it.

That's correct, you can add your own Corp VLANs and Overlay networks without any issues to VCF.

Just don't touch the ones created by VCF.

Thank you so much!
