Synchronizing Information With Vmware Vcenter - Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Configuration Manual

Configuring Virtual Machine Tracker
This example shows how to create a new connection to VMware vCenter:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# vmtracker connection conn1

Synchronizing Information with VMware vCenter

By default, VM Tracker tracks all asynchronous events from VMware vCenter and updates the switchport
configuration immediately. Optionally, you can also configure a synchronizing mechanism that synchronizes
all host, VM, and port group information automatically with VMware vCenter at a specified interval.
Command
[no] set interval find-new-host val
[no] set interval sync-full-info val
vmtracker connection connection-name refresh
This example shows how to set an interval for finding hosts that are newly connected to vCenter:
switch(config-vmt-conn)# set interval find-new-host 300
This example shows how to set an interval for synchronizing all host, VM, and port group information with
