Virtual Machine error while adding to the DVPortGroup in the vSphere Client

Hi Danny,

                This is occurs when there are not enough ports in VDS port group. You can resolve this problem by performing these steps. You can increase the number of the ports in the groups for ports. Just go to Inventory and then Networking, after that expand the dvSwitch and then do a right click on the port group and then choose Edit Settings. After that increase the number of the ports in that window. If ports are already maxed out then you can disconnect the existing ports to free some up for use by other Virtual NICs.
