Local Vm Groups - Lenovo RackSwitch G8264 Application Manual

Local VM Groups

Configuring a Local VM Group
© Copyright Lenovo 2016
The configuration for local VM groups is maintained on the switch (locally) and is
not directly synchronized with hypervisors. Local VM groups may include only
local elements: local switch ports and LAGs, and only those VEs connected to one
of the switch ports or pre‐provisioned on the switch.
Local VM groups support limited VE migration: as VMs and other VEs move to
different hypervisors connected to different ports on the switch, the configuration
of their group identity and features moves with them. However, VE migration to
and from more distant hypervisors (those not connected to the G8264, may require
manual configuration when using local VM groups.
Use the following ISCLI configuration commands to assign group properties and
membership:
