Is there a way to copy DVS settings/config?

I am upgrading to 4.1 from 4.0 U2 and created a new VC.  My old vc had a DVS and would like to know if there is a way to capture or export those settings to new VC.

Thanks!

Hi,

Why don't migrate the vCenter Database instead of to create a brand new vCenter?  All the vCenter settings are stored on that database.

You also can try with Host Profiles to set each host in order to use a specific DVS.  Anyway, you have to create the DVS first.

I didn't want to migrate the database after speaking with other VM peeps including VMWare.  They talked about database issues and also I wanted to do this at my own pace starting with our DR and test hosts then eventually the prod cluster.  I guess I was wanting a way to export the DVPort groups so I wouldn't have to create them all again.
