Not able to see all dvPortgroups

[MrVmware9423]

Hello, team

When I check the networking on an individual ESXi host, I can't see all the dvPortgroups.

But when I check the same in the networking area, I can find more dvPortgroups.

Why am I able to observe this behaviour? Please help.

Hi,

This is expected behaviour. vCenter server do not show port groups within Networking Menu of ESXi host which do not have any connections (VM or vmkernel port) connected to them.

If you login directly on ESXi host client and go to Networking -> Port Groups, you should be able to see port groups listed there.

Hope this helps.

If you connect VM to port group on same ESXi host, is it visible then?
