Configuring EEM

EEM Virtualization Support

You configure EEM in the virtual device context (VDC) that you are logged into. By default, Cisco NX-OS
places you in the default VDC. You must be in this VDC to configure policies for module-based events.
Not all actions or events are visible in all VDCs. You must have network-admin or vdc-admin privileges to
configure policies.
