One vDS vs multiple vDS.

Hi everyone, 

Just want to know what you think of segregating traffic types into different vDS. We have a situation where we have 5 vDS for each of the following. 

  • MGMT, backup. NFS
  • vMotion 
  • vSAN
  • NSX vTEP
  • NSX Edges

Note. We are using VLAN IDs for each type of these traffic types. 

My manager thinks that we should have either one vDS or two at most. I tried to find any docs or articles from VMware explaining the use cases for how many vDS should you have but I couldn't find anything that can help me to decide. 

Please share your thoughts on this and any helpful resources. Much appreciated.
