Newly deployed Nexus 1000v, running two VSMs (HA) and VEMs on two ESXi 4.0 hosts. VSM-VEM communication appears to be okay (we're not running the VSMs on the VEMs), and license status seems to be okay... but the vethernet port used by the first VM in the environment is going into an inactive state. How to troubleshoot?
