      <description>&lt;P&gt;It would nice to receive answer to this non-answered question.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;From my current research's seams Horizon doesn't have any integration with Cloud Director.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Also, it seams advised to deploy dedicated vCenter, ESXi&amp;nbsp; just for Horizon Services. This is obviously huge waste of resources for current Cloud Providers based on VMware.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;There is also an old blog post from 2013. about this&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://myvirtualcloud.net/how-to-horizon-view-and-vcloud-director-multi-tenant-daas/" target="_blank"&gt;https://myvirtualcloud.net/how-to-horizon-view-and-vcloud-director-multi-tenant-daas/&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;but since this is from ten years ago stating there is no integration between Cloud Director and Horizon.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;However, VMware might did some progress in this matter in last 10 years.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Let's hope that someone can shed more light on this matter.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>The spec.numPorts exceeds the limit 2048 - scaling vDS configuration maximus</title>
      <link>https://communities.vmware.com/t5/vSphere-vNetwork-Discussions/The-spec-numPorts-exceeds-the-limit-2048-scaling-vDS/m-p/2984107#M14769</link>
      <description>&lt;LI-SPOILER&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hello,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Recently in my vSphere environment after trying to create new NSX-V backed network I got a following warning:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;FONT color="#0000FF"&gt;Task Name&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;FONT color="#0000FF"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Add Distributed Port Group&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;FONT color="#0000FF"&gt;Status&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;FONT color="#0000FF"&gt;&amp;nbsp;The spec.numPorts exceeds the limit 2048. Cannot increase the number of ports according to the specification, because total number of ports 2051 after increase will then exceed 2048, maximum number of ports allowed on vDS.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT color="#0000FF"&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Error stack:&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color="#0000FF"&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Cannot increase the number of ports according to the specification, because total number of ports 2051 after increase will then exceed 2048, maximum number of ports allowed on vDS&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;After checking from vCenter\Distributed Switch\Summary\Switch Details I noticed that current number of ports is 2048.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;This number 2048 was very strange to me since distributed switch static (non-&lt;EM&gt;ephemeral binding)&lt;/EM&gt; ports maximus is around 10000.. and for NSX-T default &lt;EM&gt;ephemeral binding is only the one lower around 1016.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;However when checking with VMware support they mentioned that there is another configuration maximus under&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://configmax.esp.vmware.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;https://configmax.esp.vmware.com/&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;-&amp;gt; NSX \ Layer 2 Networking \&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN&gt;MAC Identifiers per Overlay Logical Switch (VNI) and it is 2048. WIth description:&amp;nbsp;If this number of MAC entries is exceeded then newer MAC entries will not be added until l the older MAC entries expire. This condition can lead to flooding in the logical network.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;---------------------------&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Currently this maximus is only impacting NSX-V and is not impacting NSX-T Port Groups that can be created (they are being created because of migrating from NSX-V). However the same maximus is present for NSX-T.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Please note that hosts are using two physical 25G uplinks.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;What would be a proper way to scale this ?&amp;nbsp; Creating Additional vDS ?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;DIV class=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/LI-SPOILER&gt;</description>

      <title>Re: Issues with Cloud Director 10.4.x after upgrade from 10.3.x</title>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;In the end VMware support with advice from engineering team managed to solve the issue.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Issue was a bad data in cloud director about edge that doesn't exist anymore. This happened because edge was created and removed by terraform.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;After bad data was removed from CD database issue was resolved.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;This subject can be closed.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
