Hi!

I'm one of the co-authors of the InventorySnapshot fling, and unfortunately, this is a known bug in the fling. You'll have to manually recover DVS settings and re-attach hosts and VMs to DVswitches. If we get time, we'll try to fix it, but in the future, we are considering alternate ways to save and restore this state. In vCenter 5.1 and beyond, for example, there are API calls to export and import DVS functionality. We are also considering alternate methods of migrating an inventory.

I'm sorry I couldn't help further at this time. We'll see what we can do in the future.

Thanks!
