   Agree C. Here we go: https://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-51/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.vsphere.networking.doc%2FGUID-4A6C1E1C-8577-4AE6-8459-EEB942779A82.html

   List the current virtual switches with the command esxcfg-vswitch:

   [root@server root]# esxcfg-vswitch –l

   The output appears similar to:

   Switch Name Num Ports Used Ports Configured Ports Uplinks
   vSwitch0 32 3 32 vmnic0

   PortGroup Name Internal ID VLAN ID Used Ports Uplinks
   VM Network portgroup2 0 0 vmnic0

   To monitor storage performance per HBA:
   Start esxtop by typing esxtop at the command line.
