This example has the following characteristics:
• A VMware vCenter is fully installed and configured prior to VMready configura-
tion and includes a "bladevm" administration account and a valid SSL certifi-
cate.
• The distributed VM group model is used.
• The VM profile named "Finance" is configured for VLAN 30, and specifies
NIC-to-switch bandwidth shaping for 1Mbps average bandwidth, 2MB bursts,
and 3Mbps maximum bandwidth.
• The VM group includes four discovered VMs on switch server ports 1 and 2, and
one static trunk (previously configured) that includes switch uplink ports 3 and 4.
1. Define the server ports.
RS G8000(config)# system server-ports port 1-2
2. Enable the VMready feature.
RS G8000(config)# virt enable
3. Specify the VMware vCenter IPv4 address.
RS G8000(config)# virt vmware vmware vcspec 172.16.100.1 bladevm
When prompted, enter the user password that the switch must use for access to
the vCenter.
4. Create the VM profile.
RS G8000(config)# virt vmprofile Finance
RS G8000(config)# virt vmprofile edit Finance vlan 30
RS G8000(config)# virt vmprofile edit Finance shaping 1000 2000 3000
