Restoring a Logical Switch Backing Port Group
Every NSX logical switch created will have a corresponding dvPortGroup per vDS in vCenter Server. If the dvPortGroup backing logical switch is deleted or missing, the associated logical switch will not function. In this recipe, we will restore a missing dvPortGroup backing logical switch. If you want to simulate this, delete a dvPortGroup backing logical switch from the vSphere networking menu.
Getting ready
