If your calculated hash matches the message digest we provide, you are assured that the file was downloaded intact.
sha-1 utilities are available for Windows and Linux and Mac. Most UNIX installations provide a sha1sum command for sha-1 hashes. You may need a newer linux kernel to calculate the checksums for larger files.]]></description>

With vDS, NIC teaming policies are only defined on the DV Port Groups and apply to dvUplinks, not vmnics.  The vmnics are mapped to the dvUplinks on a per host basis.  This enables each host to have a different vmnic to physical host configuration and yet use the same NIC teaming policy over all hosts spanned by the vDS.]]></description>
