This example has the following characteristics:
 A VMware vCenter is fully installed and configured prior to VMready
configuration and includes a "bladevm" administration account and a valid
SSL certificate.
 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 internal switch ports INT1A

and INT2A, and one static LAG (previously configured) that includes external
ports EXT2 and EXT2.
CN 4093(config)# virt enable
CN 4093(config)# virt vmware vcspec 172.16.100.1 bradevm
When prompted, enter the user password that the switch must use for access to the
vCenter.
CN 4093(config)# virt vmprofile Finance
CN 4093(config)# virt vmprofile edit Finance vlan 30
CN 4093(config)# virt vmprofile edit Finance shaping 1000 2000 3000
CN 4093(config)# virt vmgroup 1 profile Finance
CN 4093(config)# virt vmgroup 1 vm arctic
CN 4093(config)# virt vmgroup 1 vm monster
CN 4093(config)# virt vmgroup 1 vm sierra
CN 4093(config)# virt vmgroup 1 vm 00:50:56:4f:f2:00
CN 4093(config)# virt vmgroup 1 portchannel 1
When VMs are added, the internal server ports on which they appear are
automatically added to the VM group. In this example, there is no need to
manually add ports EXT1 and EXT2.
CN 4093(config)# virt vmgroup 1 tag
Note: If the VM group contains ports which also exist in other VM groups, tagging
should be enabled in both VM groups. In this example configuration, no ports exist
in more than VM group.
