Install Cisco Nexus 1000v,use control and packet vlan

Hi,I have question for vmware.I want to install the Cisco Nexus 1000V but it is must have created 3 vlans: management,control and packet vlan. I can be individually configured vlans to control and packet vlan or is must be a specific vlan konfiguration? I have vlans which are virtual pc and servers,but I can not or will not have a bad impact on the system,to use to any vlan as the control and packet vlan.

Thank you for your help.

They can be any VLANs you wish to use; even the same VLAN, if you're in a lab where there are no other options.

Although I would caution against using L2 mode for the 1000v and instead encourage L3 mode. This does away with all that VLAN nonsense. There's also a rather straight forward setup guide in this Cisco community document.
