host profile crates local switch for vmotion even though its configured for Distributed Switch

Hi,

I have a server and we use auto deploy to boot to esxi 5.5.  when the host comes online the server is loaded back into to vcentre & the cluster.  The host profile is then applied which also seems to work.

the strange thing is, when the server boots it creates a standard switch called M-dvSwitch, vmkernal port P-vMotion_Cluster Name.  This contains the nics from the HP VC.

once the host profile has applied all the correct setings occur.  we have other servers with distributed switch and this does not happen.

thanks
