Upgraded our vDS switches to 4.1 and enabled Network I/O. Thi was very easy to do and had no surprises. The only thing left to do is to finish upgrading vmware tools, and one cluster still needs to be upgraded. Two clusters have older servers and will not get upgraded to 4.1.
Once again, after switching the vCenter Server database to SQL, everything went very smooth. There were just a couple gotchas along the way. One was with 4.1U1, we were unable to edit the settings in a template without removing it from inventory first. Upgrading vCenter Server to 4.1 U2 foxed this. The other issue was the historical perfromance data quit working a couple times. We fixed that by re-creating the view tables in the database.
I almost do not want to upgrade to vSphere 5, now that 4.1 is working so well. But we will probably do that prior to migrating our ERP physical servers to Vms which should happen in the fall.
