migration from standard to distributed switch

We have vcenter running on 5.5, I am planning to migrate everything from standard switches to Distributed ones, I have more than 200 Vlans and I would hate to create dvport groups manually, any suggestion how to bulk create port groups in distributed switch or if i can export list from standard switch and import them in vDS.

Thanks a bunch!!

Create a CSV with your info and use a foreach loop in powercli to create each port group with the New-VDPortgroup commandlet.

This should get you started.
