I had thoughts of someday writing up a methodology to evaluate Cisco IOS releases for deployment, but Greg Ferro has already done a nice job at Etherealmind so check it out.
Cisco, IOS, Quick Tips | in Geekery A good doc on which NX-OS version to run on the Nexus 7000.

Nexus, Quick Tips | in Geekery A common limitation I see customers regularly hitting on the 1000v is the default “max-ports” value of 32 on a port-profile. Once a 33rd virtual machine is assigned a certain port-profile it gives an error and doesn’t allow it.
Fortunately the fix is easy. Just up the value within the port profile:
port-profile MY-PROFILE
vmware max-ports 64
Note: The range can go as high as 1024. Max-ports configuration only applies to non-uplink ports.
