Should management vlan use a system vlan ? So for example 10/12 are control/packet vlans respectively and 132 is management vlan :
port-profile type vethernet management
vmware port-group
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 132
no shutdown
system vlan 132
state enabled
port-profile type ethernet vm-uplink
vmware port-group
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan 1-3967,4048-4093
no shutdown
system vlan 10,12,132
description Uplink profile for VM traffic
state enabled

Irek,
Yes - Management should be a system vlan. Please see this other post for more detail:

Thank you Robert. Could also the reson for management vlan = system vlan be to maintain VSM and vCenter connectivity ? Management interface is used to establish and maintain the connection between the VSM and VMware vCenter Server
And one more related question ...Also VMware kernel NICs are used for VMware connectivity or SSH or Telnet connections and have to use system VLANs. But I think currently VMware kernel NIC is not on VEM in my installation ..should I migrate it to VEM ?
