A DistributedVirtualPort will be created and assigned to a
VirtualMachine when the virtual machine is powered on, and will
be deleted when the virtual machine is powered off. An ephemeral portgroup has
no limit on the number of ports that can be a part of this portgroup.
In cases where the vCenter Server is unavailable the host can
create conflict ports in this portgroup to be used by a virtual machine
at power on.
