How to get PGI to work with vShield edge?

Hi All!

Trying to get PGI to work in our new vsphere 5 environment, but are having some problems.

Have setup 3 different port groups, pg1, pg2 and pg-ext. In pg 1/2 I have have installed the edge firewall and the external interfaces is in pg-ext as this pg have the uplinks and connection to our external lan.

The problem is that I can still see arp requests from vm's in pg1 on the vm's in pg2, if I understand right this should not be possible. I can solve this by having separate vlan for pg1 and pg2 but I wan't to stay of that and instead use PGI.

So what have I missed? can't find any good documentation for this, all that I have found is for vsphere 4.1 and in that version you have to enable PGI in the vDS, is this automatically for vsphere5?

Or have I totally missunderstood how PGI works?

After some disscusions with vmware I got the answer that PGI is no longer supported in vShield 5 even if they talks about it in the documentation. Will use vlans instead.
