I have searched for hours and not been able to find a way to do this: Given a vmkernel adapter name, I want to be able to find the "display name" of the Portgroup on dvSwitch it is associated with. This is how it shows in vSphere client: so, in this case: input string would be: "vmk3" and output string would be "NFS". none of the cli commands I've tried including: esxcli network ip interface list esxcfg-vmknic -l esxcfg-vswitch -l seem to show this secret Port Group name. How, via cli can I find this association?

I kinda screwed the pooch yesterday and haphazardly upgraded my lab machine (that has 48GB RAM) from ESXi 4.1 to ESXi 5.1. The upgrade went fine, but I hadn't picked up on the 32GB RAM limitation in 5.1, and now I can't apply a license and am in 60 day countdown mode. Is it possible to downgrade the hypervisor back to 4.1 (yes, I realize I will probably have to do clean install) and then run a couple of nested 5.1 hypervisors under 4.1 so that I can still use all my 48GB of RAM? I've never tried nesting before so need to read up on it first, but thought I would first see if it's worth the hassle.
