The allocated memory for a large number of virtual distributed switch ports exceeds the dvsLargeHeap
parameter (DVSLargeHeapMaxSize
)
The DVSLargeHeapMaxSize
default is 300 andcan be increased to a maximum of 2048.
Increase the value of DVSLargeHeapMaxSize parameter on every affected ESXi host:
esxcli system settings advanced list -o /Net/DVSLargeHeapMaxSize
esxcli system settings advanced set -o /Net/DVSLargeHeapMaxSize --int-value 512
