Description

Hi all,

First of all I really like pyvmomi and it helped me a lot. Now I want to add a vmkernel port to a Distributed Switch. Can somebody help me where I must look to add a kernel port?

Thank you so much.

Regards, Mischa

Research direction
Look into pyVmomi API for HostNetworkSystem to add a vmkernel virtual NIC to a distributed virtual switch. Check methods like AddVirtualNic or AddServiceConsoleVirtualNic. Review existing samples in the repository for network configuration.
