Where to start with the Nexus 1000V

I am currently designing a new vSphere cluster which runs perfectly in the lab so far. We were talking about ACLs and protected ports so naturally the Nexus 1000V was brought up. Now the executives want to see the Nexus in action but the more I read about it - the more I get confused.
Anyone implemented the Nexus yet ?

First question, do they have vSphere Enterprise Plus licenses (or are they willing to acquire them)?

Oh yea. We are vmware enterprise partner and we will provide the licenses which are solely Enterprise Plus ones ...
It's based on NX-OS (like the other Nexus equipment) which is essentially a combination of IOS (from Cisco's routers/switches) and SAN-OS (from their MDS line of FCP switches).
Once you've got it downloaded grab a copy of the Cisco Nexus 1000V Getting Started Guide, Release 4.0(4)SV(1) and work your way through it. You might also want to read the Cisco Nexus 1000V Series Switches Deployment Guide so you understand best practices for deploying it, etc.
One thing to make note of in the back of your head, I would recommend keeping your Management (ESXi) or Service Console (ESX) ports on classic vSwitches and avoid linking them to dvSwitches (I refuse to use the acronym vDS) or the Nexus 1000V.

I am lucky enough to say that I have my own three node cluster in a lab
The only thing I am concerned about the nexus is really the "what if" factor .. I can imagine that IF something is wrong with the virtual appliances that the whole network is down which might kick hundreds of server off the network. Sure I will have at least the Service Console, but it might still be a pain to uninstall the nexus and goe back to either vswitches or distributed switches ..
Basically the same way VMware HA works, you can't configure it without vCenter but once configured it will still function whether or not vCenter is running.
